I don't know if it's in reverse.

There are actors that start doing comedy where you're like,

It's not a real stand up.

That's an actor doing stand up because they want to be able to sell tickets.

And, you know, so I didn't want like that's not me saying nobody should do that.

But likely they're not impressing me or other comedians, you know.

And I know that's possibly the same with very trained, serious actors might be like, what is she doing here?

But anyway, that's an example of I want to step up to where I actually am in life.

And that's also another part of my life that I'm not running away from is my marriage.

I've dated...

so much over the years never did i ever think i would be married at all not like i was running around town or cheating or anything like that i just i was like i'm not getting married and then i met stephanie and yes i'm in a committed long-term relationship we've been together 13 years

I love being in a long term committed relationship.

That's a road I've never been down.

And it's a new and exciting path for me.

And old me or some people would look at that and be like,

I don't want to be stuck in something for my whole life, you know?

And so that's another example of, I think, something that I'm not quitting and I'm not walking away from.

Oh my gosh, the things I would say in relationships that were so telling of how one foot out I was.

I remember one girlfriend said we had been together like six months or something and she was doing something in the kitchen and she was like, where should we go for Thanksgiving?

And I was like, thinking Thanksgiving.
