realizing minutes jokes
I'm not a standup. I don't really have jokes. I don't have 10 minutes. It took a while for me to realize this.
steps looks common
If I look over my life, every single step of maturing for me, every single one, has had the exact same common denominator: accepting what was true over what I wished were true.
spiritual losing happened
Losing my faith was the most spiritual thing that ever happened to me.
hitting needs bad-mood
[Penn Jillette] said, 'If a truck is barreling toward you, no amount of positiveness will stop it from hitting you.' I needed to hear that I didn't have to be enthusiastic all the time. Some days you just need to be in a bad mood.
funny-things things-in-life illness
Because death and illness are the most horrible things in life, of course that's where the most absurdly funny things are going to happen.
atheist long stronger
I just became a stronger agnostic, and then I started to realize that everyone who was saying they were agnostic really hadn't thought about it that much. Still, I went with agnosticism for a long, long time because I just hated to say I was an atheist -- being an atheist seemed so rigid. But the more I became comfortable with the word, and the more I read, it started to stick.
inspirational funny motivational
I get mad at people who talk about traumatic job interviews, about going on one and getting rejected. I get rejected all the time and not only do I get rejected, but people have no problem being really specific about why I was rejected.
beautiful atheist book
Why isn't there a book about someone losing their faith and it being a beautiful experience?
motivation inspiration santa
Our family was too strange and weird for even Santa Claus to come visit ... Santa, who was jolly - but, let's face it, he was also very judgmental.
beautiful letting-go religious
It took me years, but letting go of religion has been the most profound wake up of my life. I feel I now look at the world not as a child, but as an adult. I see what's bad and it's really bad. But I also see what is beautiful, what is wonderful. And I feel so deeply appreciative that I am alive. How dare the religious use the term 'born again.' That truly describes freethinkers who've thrown off the shackles of religion so much better!
atheist became hated seemed time
I went with agnosticism for a long, long time because I just hated to say I was an atheist - being an atheist seemed so rigid. But the more I became comfortable with the word, and the more I read, it started to stick.
good weird
It's so weird to have someone tell you you're sick when you feel really healthy and good.
Mostly, I just want to be in my house reading and writing.
