A Future That Includes Me

In my other life, I perform as someone else, under another name.

Last night, I showed up thinking I’d enjoy the show.

Instead, I became the highlight. ✨️

And it felt good. Maybe all this training has sharpened my comedian brain too?

Oh yeah. I’m also a stand-up comedian.

The last time I declared that in an unsuspecting setting feels like a hundred years ago: I had to write my job description on my son’s death certificate.

Oh, how far I’ve come.

Six years after I thought it was over, I find myself poised on the most exciting part of my life.

At 60, it’s finally coming together.

After all of everything, I’m so happy it hurts—mainly because I’m building a future that includes me.

Yes. I’m doing it.
