“I did some research on my past looking for “the funny” as a standup comedian. I went through FBI files looking for some hilarious trauma to use because “Tragedy+ time = Comedy” but then again, I never was good at math. Another mind-blower, I don’t know math but I know that the past does not equal the future you can be, do and have the life of your dreams, no matter what the fuck anyone else says, *unless they are the prophet. So I worked my ass off. I got married. I built an amazing life. I have a home and no matter how hard I try, my husband won’t let me get us another wife…selfish, right?"
