Welcome to the Island of Mischief Making Misfits - the Comically Human Tribe

Who We Are (Special Introduction)

We’ve all been there—the Island of Misfit Toys. It’s that place where you feel like you don’t quite belong, where ‘normal’ is a club you’re not a part of. Comically Human is here to flip that on its head. This isn’t a place to ‘fix’ yourself—it’s a place to be yourself. Imperfections, quirks, and all.

Each week, we’ll send you laughs, insights, and small actions to help you live with a little more freedom, curiosity, and joy—no-nonsense, no fluff, just real talk from one misfit to another.”

Stay awhile—you’re among friends.

Movie Quotes to Remember:

1. "Strange, isn’t it? Each man’s life touches so many other lives. And when he isn’t around, he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he?"

2. "You see, George, you really had a wonderful life. Don’t you see what a mistake it would be to throw it away?"

Why We Love It:

There’s no such thing as an insignificant life. Small actions—tiny, seemingly invisible moments—create ripples that touch others in ways you can’t always see.

Takeaway:

Your life matters more than you realize. That smile you gave a stranger? The kind word you shared? That little moment of connection? It mattered. Just like George Bailey, you may not see it, but you’ve left a mark.

Don’t believe me? There’s a reason for that...

The “Should” Trap - Part I

We’ve all been there.
You scroll through social media, glance at your neighbor’s shiny new car, or hear about someone’s “perfect life” and think: “I should have that.” The “shoulds” pile up like dirty laundry: I should have more money. I should be further ahead. I should look like that. I should…

But here’s the truth: comparison is a liar, and “should” is its favorite weapon. It’s a trap that keeps us chasing someone else’s idea of success instead of appreciating our own lives.

George Bailey fell into the “Should” Trap.
In It’s a Wonderful Life, George thought he should’ve been a rich world traveler, not a small-town banker. But when he saw the lives he touched, he realized something powerful:

Your life matters—even when you can’t see it.

Takeaway:
Maybe you smiled at a stranger today, and it made their whole week. Maybe a kind word you said years ago still echoes in someone’s heart. You don’t need to compare your life to anyone else’s. You don’t need to “fix” yourself.

Your quirks, your actions, your little moments—they matter more than you think.
