Coming out

Recently I have started telling more people I want to be a comedian, I'm noticing a trend in their reactions. Along with the obligational, "You'll be great at that!" which I would receive regardless of what I told them I wanted to do with my life (Teacher? You're a natural! Lawyer? You'd be excellent! Zoo keeper? The job market couldn't be better!), I was surprised by the amount of people who told me they'd always known I'd be a comedian.

Always known? Honestly? I only realized it like, a year ago. If they always knew, why couldn't they have told me? This must be what it feels like to realize you're gay; then immediately realize you're the last one to have figured it out.
