Being with friends felt like a burden. I remember just sobbing.
I was paralyzed with fear. It was unbearable to be among other kids who were just standing around being fine. It was one of the many inconveniences of this paradox I lived with -the more people I was surrounded by, the more frighteningly alone I felt.
I do love the idea of ritual.
I'm Jewish, but I'm totally not.
The first time I did stand-up was the summer I was 17.
I don't really care for like fat jokes about women, specifically.
