55 - Lent: Misery Loves Company (and a Side of Fish)

Lent is here, and for some of us, that means fasting, sacrifice, and… eating fish. Shelby doesn’t do much for Lent besides reluctantly suffering through fish dinners. Ridge, on the other hand, takes it a step further with fasting—though he once gave up drinking for Lent and tried to cash in on the “Sunday loophole” by telling his wife he was going to drink all day. But beyond the food and fun, there’s something to be said about penance. Maybe there’s a reason suffering—even in small ways—makes us feel better about ourselves. Maybe discipline, sacrifice, and a little struggle help put things into perspective. Or maybe we’re just making ourselves miserable for no reason.
