I have found being here very theraputic. And since I am used to rejection, I have decided to do something brave, bold, crazy and magnificently liberating. I am going to set myself free and impart my points of view on the unwashed and unsuspecting masses by becoming a stand up comedian.

I have a knack for making people laugh. Mostly because I am irreverent and am unashamed to point out things that most people find shockingly funny.

I feel so much better after pouring out my thoughts here and people are so cool about it, so supportive and nice. I wonder if all the nice people on the planet participate here.

I am going to go out on a limb here and say that you (yes you..) wouldn't be here if you didn't want to be helped. You come here and pour out your soul and the rest of us sympathise, empathise and genuinely feel a little less alone because of you.. (yes, you too..)

So, I am going to carry the touch publicly for the rest of us and turn all this pain and suffering into laughs. They are all laughing at us anyway, so we should learn to laugh at ourselves.

I will never make fun of anyone here personally, nor will I speak of anyone or anything that has been shared here. I will only speak from a personal perspective. I have too much respect for all of you sincerely wonderful people. (We are wonderful people.. believe that. It's what gives us the ability to truly suffer. It's the shallow and callouse people who have no real ability to feel anything other than self-importance.)

I have spent time on stage before and am used to public speaking. And, since I really have nothing left to really lose from a self respect perspective, why not hang it all out there? Why not turn all this sadness and pain that I feel into laughter?

It will be my way of finding joy without having to engage myself in allowing them to suck the life out of me.

What's the worst that could happen? I fail? I am ridiculed? Like I haven't been dealing with that now?? Really.

Wish me luck and thank you for the inspiration!

I truly love you all. You are my peeps!
