Breakups. Yeah. Romantic breakups. So I was going through it all. And, but yeah, I didn't, I didn't know what to think.

I think it's taken me a long time to really understand what was going on with me. I think that... Number one, I love stand-up. I had seen how quickly life can slip away with my own health and my mother dying. And because I was so sick, I just thought, I don't know if I'll be able to perform again.

And when I did perform, I thought, well, I can't do... my regular observational comedy. That's not where my head is. And it kind of cracked me open in a new way, sharing so personally. I had never, ever done that before. And yeah, I think I just felt like I had... almost lost everything in life. So why not just, you know, go for it. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I think there was a part of me that was kind of reaching out for help and support, um, because, um, even though I have incredible friends and family that were surrounding me, it was still, I needed, I needed help. I needed support. And, and it's, I think all the time about people that don't have the support that I had.
