Tig Notaro

I think what that experience taught me is that, like I was saying before, the response I had when I got diagnosed with cancer, I was like, this can't happen.

I was just, I went through all of this other stuff.

And I really believe that.

I thought that I had all of the bad luck in the world, so now it must be just a smooth ride in life.

And that hasn't happened.

I do feel like I still have TIG luck, but I also think I have a very realistic perspective on life.

And part of that realistic perspective is knowing that

And the fun and wonderful thing about life is we don't know what's around the corner.

And it really has made me learn to trust life and trust what's coming, even if it's not great.

And so I don't feel fearful.

I feel...

More so, I just want to be prepared, you know.

It's like when I take my sons to their baseball games, I want to make sure that if we're between a doubleheader that I have lunch packed, you know.

I'm not scared my kids are going to starve.

I just want to make sure we're all set.

And that's the best I can do.

And Stephanie said something about being gay.
