Yes Please

by Amy Poehler

I haven’t lived a full enough life to look back on, but I am too old to get by on being pithy and cute.

Anger and embarrassment are often neighbors. Sometimes we get defensive about what we feel guilty about.

I do a weird thing when I am nervous where I tilt my head back like I am super confident. This is my attempt to fake it until I make it, or at the very least make it easier for someone to slit my throat.

It’s just that sometimes anger should just stay anger and tears can change anger to something else. However, if you do start crying in an argument and someone asks why, you can always say, “I’m just crying because of how wrong you are.”
