Lately I’ve been writing a lot about my well-being. For example how about the immediate urge I notice when I wake up to look at my phone that can be very hard to resist most days. Thats about for today see you all later.

-I’m alright, nothings new with me at the moment. I have been writing little bits here and there, but mostly on my phones notes.
– The last essay we read caught me off guard. I was not really expecting the things he said. The last two lines, ” Offering it to your ex-husband, I can understand, but to your own sister? That’s just tacky,” was such a twist I was not expecting. most of it was offensive, but I still though it was so funny. Extra points for shock value.
-Sedaris is sad.
– He seems sad because in most of his writing when he reflects on his childhood or negative events, it seems like he tries too hard to add humor which is often a method to hide your sadness.
