But I went back to BC because the head of the theology department when I was a student there, who is somebody I really loved and was close to, was teaching a class called literally just forgiveness. And so I wrote to him and I was like, hey, I don't know if you remember me. I was your student 20 years ago. Can I take this class? And he was like, I just was listening to you on NPR.

I followed your career. I like think you're awesome and please come take the class. And I did take it and we're still in touch and are now good friends. And I will say that like, it didn't bring me back into a place of being like the church rules. But what it did do is help me realize that like, these are all just people. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And that is a terrible thing to do to a young person.

Cameron Esposito: How to Save Your Damn Self (Best Of)

Yes, it is. But like as an adult going back, I think I just got to see that these are people who are doing the best and sometimes somebody's best is pretty bad. And it's a bummer for someone to not have the experience and exposure to be able to like really live. the word that they say that they're living. That sucks for them. For them. What a huge bummer for that person.

Definitely. I think that for me, I was consumed by hatred. So, I mean, congrats to those people, places, and things that I hated because they got so much of my time and energy. Yes. That's such a win for them. This is an evolving thing for me. I don't think I've hit some finish line here, but it is that thing of like, what is forgiveness? Is it like, I send you on your way sweetly?

And I was like, forgiveness, this is what I need to spend my energy on.
