How I did it: 'yes' has always been one of the more difficult words for me. it was always no. i can't say i've been an opportunist all my life. from age 6 or 7, 'grilled cheese' and 'puppy' came out of me much more than a simple yes. yes is difficult. yes is unknown territory, and no is staying in one spot, safe from the hazardous yes. i have come to learn that it's much better to pull the chain, because you're going to remain in one spot by sticking to no. no blankets you with a curtain of safety that eventually has to fray and rip. say yes. si works, too. 'por supuesto' is even better.
