Why I Loathe Fireworks: A Heart Patient’s Plea for Sanity on the Fourth of July

If you live with heart failure, chronic illness, or just have a low tolerance for loud nonsense, you’re not alone in hating the Fourth of July fireworks. Here’s a sarcastic take from a private chef with sarcoidosis who would gladly trade in the “bombs bursting in air” for a drone show and a quiet night.

Full Disclosure: This blog is written by me—a real human with a chronic illness, a chef’s knife, and a heart full of stories. Sometimes I lean on AI for grammar touch-ups, structure tweaks, or a dash of SEO magic. I use AI to generate images related to the posts. But every word, every thought, and every bit of beautiful chaos? That’s all mine.
