“Curb Your Enthusiasm” is, to be sure, an exercise in cringe. Whether or not your find that cringe hilarious (which I do, but also know it’s a polarizing show that folks tend to either love or hate), what Larry David does so well in the show is name the thing most of us are already thinking but many dare not admit.
Today, channel that kind of absolute do-or-die-even-if-it’s-cringey sort of truth-telling, and write about a truth on your radar. It doesn’t have to be a huge truth deep in your heart, it doesn’t have to be funny or clever, it just has to be authentic, and perhaps something that you’ve allowed to go unsaid.
For example, in the most recent season, there’s an episode in which Larry is added into a group text thread. We’ve all been there, and while his version of angst about it gets heated, who among us hasn’t been like ugggghhhhhhhh this thread oh my gahhhhhhd…? Anyway. Let’s do this.
