“It’s time to revisit lessons I’ve learned, time to take them further. It’s time to inspect my baggage again, to see what has snuck in there since the last time I cleaned it out.

I’m prepared to do hard work, to reflect, rethink, repent, and rejoice. And I’m prepared to laugh at myself and other people, because, after all, the human species is comedy at its best.”
