To me, humor is one of the most important things in my life; it has helped me through some very rough points. My humor can sometimes be irreverent, but every moment it has been there with me, even through the darkest moments. I think it helps us to not take ourselves too seriously. There is just too much to celebrate and too much to be grateful for.
