Laughter is the best way to get over something or get closer to something. It's one of the things I respect most about Amy Schumer.

She does it in a way that makes us see the absurdity and laugh at it.

It's something where, by connecting to someone else's voice, I feel less lonely. I feel more alive. I feel more connected to the world and to the rest of humanity. Sometimes a voice can be like a lifeline.
