Monica Lewinsky

I could have been like,

What my body was going was, oh, my God, I have not been around.

I've not even been around cutlery for four years because everyone thought I was a monster.

Like that was what was going on in my head.

And so I could either just sort of I could walk up to that situation and go like and freak out or I can just.

Laugh about it.

Yeah.

You know, like, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Wasn't that a horrible experience?

You know, like, you know, and and so for me, one of the things that I I love is and I truly believe is like tragedy plus time equals comedy.

And I, you know, recently did a one hour comedy, you know, thing, stand up thing that I did in a local theater, you know, in Chicago.

in Washington state.

And I want to continue doing that because I really like embrace, I've discovered that I feel really comfortable performing.

And I think maybe that's in part because I've had to, I've been put on the spot, like I had the spotlight put on me and I've had to stand up for myself and defend myself and articulate myself.

And I've learned to

how to do that now.

Like I didn't know how to do that before.

I learned how to do that now.

And now I can sort of use some of that experience towards more different kinds of storytelling, which I really love.

So I'd like to ask everybody at the end of the chat, you know, if they are kind of working on reclaiming anything, something personal or a physical object, if there's anything you're looking at reclaiming right now.
