Sitting on a swing, talking to the imaginary, invisible, audience
Whenever I'm struggling just to be human, which is more often than not, I return to this bit by Rob Brydon on Human Remains. He's the only actor I know who plays a hapless optimist even better than Steve Carell. These words are my mantra and my manifesto, my worry beads, my comfort food...

Friends, and not even friends, but acquaintances have said to me,
"Life has dealt you a bad hand."

turmoil,
anguish,
sorrow,
doubt,
fear,
regret,
and longing
is a bad hand, then yes...
but is it?
