Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally untuted because we all make mistakes.
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.
Oh man, it's one of those mornings. There's just so
much that I want to write about. I often compare
it to the way I dream. Give me five minutes
of sleep, and my mind will travel halfway around the world.
I don't remember always being this way. Is it an
age thing? Of course, you know. I had to do
some research and it shows no, dude, no dude, no dude.
Aging people do wake up a lot more, which allows
us to remember what we were dreaming. But really we're
not dreaming more as we age. It does seem like
I'm dreaming more. But the thing is is that as
an aging person, we have less ram rapid eye movement. Now,
believe it or not, the people who dream the most
those that are born in the first two weeks of
life because their mind is being created. I just don't
remember being this active with my dreams. I can feel
like I've been out for like three hours. I look
at the clock, It's only been five minutes. The same
is true about my daily writing. I have five different
journals going on at the same exact time, and none
of them have anything to do with each other. And
I know I am not alone in this. Your mind
is just as active. But are you listening to what
your mind is planting. I happen to trust my open
ways of thinking until I wake up and take note
of what I posted last night on social media. Do
you do that You're so consumed by what is going
on in your presence of right now? This is late
at night that you go to social media, you post something,
and then when you wake up the next morning, you're going,
oh my god, that was a little bit too revealing,
so I take it off. I always tell you people,
the best time to be on my Facebook page is
at night, because I do cross the line. I do
go into areas that offer change and challenge. Not offensively,
I don't do that. It's just I have an open
thought that I like to share, and then people react
to it. Hey, it's aerow. This is the daily Mess,
a chronological walk through an everyday world. I am a
daily writer. I like planting thoughts because the reactions that
I get from you are that of oh my god.
I never even thought about that, or Hey, I was
just thinking about that the other day. How can we
be on the same page. It's like a joke. How
does it get from the west coast to the east
coast and we're all laughing in the middle. This is
the daily mess, getting lost in a thought, putting too
much interest into something that's very, very tiny. I struggle
with people getting to see my side of the story
because it's been a lifelong challenge. My public self is
extremely careful as to what I speak of, especially when
a comment I think is very funny falls very flat
in the circle of communicators, reserved thinking. Oh there's a
lot of that going on. Yeah, yeah, Those reserve thoughts
are tightly stored away for these pages right here, and sometimes,
just like anybody else, I don't know what I'm trying
to convey. When you have to explain a thought to
yourself or you come back to it and none of
it makes sense, it's how I do what I do.
Accepting your self weirdness. That is the subject today, Accepting
your self weirdness. Look that up on social media. You're
going to find out that being weird we're not alone.
There are several books of motivation focused one hundred percent
on accepting your weirdness. I'm a daily writer. I agreed
to disagree and fully accept my thoughts no matter how
long I get, and I'm the one that put it
on the page. It doesn't matter. I accept being weird.
I did an album back in two thousand and two
filled with some of the craziest music, and the name
of the album was they think I'm weird, So I
proved it. So this isn't anything new to my journey.
Being weird is what I am, and each day that
goes by, it's not that I step out there to
say I'm weird. I just go, hey, I'm going to
think about some things that are kind of odd. But
you don't have to accept me, nor do I have
to accept me. But you know, I agreed to disagree
and I fully accept that I'm just weird, and it
puts you in a place of you know what. I
can grow with this, because from weird comes a new idea.
People can be challenged and changed in ways that inspire
them to be more open. See inside my mind. Every
time that I come into the studio, I'm here because
I was that kid who was in his bedroom as
a child that wouldn't come out to share his ideas
because I knew it was safe to put yourself in
a public place where you unlock your imagination. It takes
all that you think is weird and it gives it sunshine.
Fruit is then grown to which you can share. And
although that fruit may look weird and taste weird, you're
probably still gonna find it at a grocery store, because
I don't know if you've been to an international store before,
but my god, I have the greatest time looking at
the craziest, most odd ball fruit on the planet, and
every piece of fruit that I pick up, I go,
this is my weird. I'm Marrow. And that's the daily mess.
