Read the full interview via the link in the bio. 🌾 *** ID: A roundup of quotes from an interview with comedian, writer, and radio host Tom Scharpling that read... Slide 1: "Any time I give any advice, I know I’m giving it to myself at the same time." Slide 2: "My thing is only my thing, no one is going to have the same story, but a lot of people are going to have their version of my story and see those commonalities and realize that stuff happens to everybody," Slide 3: "It’s a matter of staying on your feet, getting through it, and coming out the other side. I wanted to communicate that whatever you’ve been carrying, it doesn’t have to turn into shame, which is unfortunately what happened to me for so much of my life." Slide 4: "Me talking about it has been the process of unburdening, and also letting other people know we don’t have to carry these things as burdens. You didn’t do something wrong because something happened in your life." Slide 5: "I’ve come to realize that the brain I’ve got, it sometimes doesn’t do me favors, but ultimately I’ll take it. I’d rather have this overly driven brain that won’t let me quit, and makes me feel like a dog that won’t let go of a bone."
