Yes Please

by Amy Poehler

I have realized that mystery is what keeps people away, and I’ve grown tired of smoke and mirrors. I yearn for the clean, well-lighted place. So let’s peek behind the curtain and hail the others like us. The open-faced sandwiches who take risks and live big and smile with all of their teeth. These are the people I want to be around. This is the honest way I want to live and love and write.

Wordsworth also said that the best part of a person’s life is “his little, nameless, unremembered, acts of kindness and of love.”

Decide what your currency is early. Let go of what you will never have. People who do this are happier and sexier.

People are their most beautiful when they are laughing, crying, dancing, playing, telling the truth, and being chased in a fun way.
