This morning I reached into the container where I keep the cotton buds in my bathroom and I know giant red ants aren’t supposed to live where my cotton buds reside but somehow they managed to find their way in. I threw away the cotton buds and washed out all the ants then felt sad because of 1) the cotton buds I threw out, and 2) the ants I killed without getting to the bottom of why they ended up there in the first place
