      We are but that’s besides the point, we actually meant it in a literal way lmao

      Lemons are manufactured by mixing a Citron and a Bitter Orange. They’re are not naturally occurring in any way, while the orange is a fully natural occurring fruit. Other than that, lemons are metaphorically seen as struggles or suffering while oranges are shown to be liquid sunshine or joy.
