Yesterday, I realized in therapy that it would be nice to care less and do nothing every once in a while — instead of being constantly driven to get things done right. For example, I could care less about our shower remodel and all the decisions I have to make about it.
I would also like to care less about what is happening to Twitter now that Elon Musk is being so care-less with people’s lives, feelings, and money.
I could care less that I haven’t yet figured out the music for this new song I’m writing:
I Don’t Want to Write a Song
I don’t want to write a song
I don’t want to right a wrong
I don’t want to move along,
But I guess I will.
I don’t want to do a thing
That is hard and exhausting
I don’t want to play and sing,
But I guess I will.
I especially don’t want to write a bridge
The part of a song that makes me itch
And feel like I’m an amateurish bitch,
But I guess I will.
I don’t want to try and fail,
Spend some time to no avail,
Try to run, but move like a snail
But I guess I will.
I don’t want to finish this
Or anything on my to-do list.
But I guess it’s done.
And, actually, it was sort of fun.

I could care less about the images I have to share with you today.
I could care less about individually-wrapped candies.
Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “I could care less.”
I could care less about speaking and writing properly.
I also care about you reading this I-could-care-less post, so thank YOU for caring!
