Framing the ticket is such a specific kind of pride. I see it everywhere now, like people keeping their first dollar earned or a worn out pair of work boots on a shelf. It's about making a quiet milestone physically real to look at.
Proof of life" is a bit dramatic for a ticket stub. It's more like proof you had forty bucks and two free hours on a Tuesday. We're all just collecting little receipts for our own existence now.
Oh that's not just about pride though. It's a record of loyalty, like a punch card you made yourself. She's basically framing the fact she chose you five hundred times.
