Writing Prompts from Cheryl Strayed (5. what you have too much of)

 Personally, I don't think I have "too much" of anything.  There's usually two extremes to everything which consists of too much and too less. In between those two extremes, there's a very large grey area of varying amounts.  I feel as though I fall in the grey area.  The consideration of too much is also subjective to the pov of myself and others.  Outside looking in, someone like my mom for example, might say I have too much hoodies. I've seen people with a lot more than I do just as she's seen people with less; including herself.  I can say I have too many skin care products but I know that there are always people with way more than me so I have to ask myself "do I really have too much?".

Reflection Jan/20/23

 In class, Mr.Rease gave us a writing prompt. We had to think of a topic that we thought was overrated. The topic I went with was “wanting to fitting in”.  We then had to come up with five points to go with the main topic. My subtopics were: insecure, dependent, bad clout, superficial, and temporary. Of course, we had to elaborate on those subtopics. We put them in a graph where theres a circle in the middle and the small circles extending from it. Next week we’ll turn them into essays.
