Comedian Mike Bramante gets honest about recovering from a breakup he wished would have never happened. What transpires in the wake of his heartbreak is a healing that very much goes against the grain of modern dating, in that, rather than rushing to replace, he takes the scenic route back to love and along the way approaches “moving on" as a choice to either forget the relationship (both its wins and losses) or honor the person he’s become in thanks to the relationship. As Mike explains, “Heartbreak is a sad thing but the relationship is the happy thing.” His choice has been to accept the ending in order to appreciate the relationship—a brave move that almost seems instinctual. He also opens up about the importance of bending your absolutes, managing clinical OCD, the tension between the fear of death and the fear of dying before you’ve lived, accepting uncertainty, and how his breakup motivated him to go all-in with comedy.
