January 5. A Memoir Is Not a Status Update, by Dani Shapiro
Your prompt for today:
Write what you would never dare post as a response to the question at the top of every Facebook feed: “What’s on your mind?” What has been welling inside you, concealed, ready to burst into poetry?---
No, not that. I mean, yes, that. But not just that. I've got a lot of problems with me, and nobody needs to hear about them. Isn't that what social media is? Self-effacing humblebrags that hint at our insecurities while hiding them under a veneer of visual or verbal filters that make your everyday shit sandwiches sparkle like caviar?
