Every day seems to be a “Day Of”. Yesterday was World Mental Health Day, and tomorrow is World Sight Day – observed annually on the second Thursday of October to draw attention to eye health, blindness, and vision impairment. Add in National Dessert Day (October 14, if you’re asking) and World Pasta Day (October 25) and suddenly, you haven’t got a day off from all the Days Of. I also bring you the sad news that you have missed Name Your Car Day, which was on October 2. Maybe pop it on your calendar for next year.
So yes – these Days Of can sometimes feel tiresome, random, and occasionally irrelevant. But in these febrile times, it’s worth pausing today to reflect on the world that young girls are growing up in.
