Honestly, your list of ways you and Sean are nontraditional sounds like a description of my ideal life. There's got to be some irony in the large number of people who feel individually weird/concerned about being nontraditional. I still think about my high school English teacher's comment that he had never, in 28 years of teaching, had anyone interpret a certain passage the way I did, but he was giving me an A anyway because I explained myself clearly. Am I really THAT different? Will my own writing read like well-supported nonsense to the rest of Substack? Will they hate me—or, worse, ignore me? My point is, you're not alone. ;)
