Not only do I love this, but I love it enough to write this note in my fucking bathtub of all places, rewriting every other letter of 15 fucking times, because my fingers on this moist keyboard on my phone are barely functioning. Basically, I’m writing from my aunt farm to your aunt farm with great affection and gratitude, because nothing mattering always makes me feel better, even if I’m still going to care disproportionately to my actual power in this little universe.

I don’t know if you can tell that I resorted to voice to text because typing wasn’t working… But somehow I really love aunt farm supposed to ant farm!

I wondered if it was voice to text or a deliberate change from ant to aunt. More importantly, I freaking LOVE Aunt Farm. That is so funny and excellent. Thanks for reading the chapter. I’m so glad you love it. On the one hand, I can’t believe I didn’t figure out nothing matters until I was sixty. On the other hand, I’m glad it occurred to me at all. It is making my life much easier. More selfishly, I’m also glad you dig it because I am in Revisions Hell where I swing wildly between “I actually really like this book” to “Why am I even writing it?” Admittedly a privilege to have the time to sit around and mull this stuff. But with your encouragement I will soldier through the final draft. Then I swear, from now on, I am just going to focus on moving rocks around the ranch and appreciating nature. ❤️
