Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.
So here we are, but where is here? When I
say this to coworkers and friends, they literally will stop
for a moment and then go, eh, we are here,
but where is here? I could have easily written out,
I'm sitting next to the writing window overlooking this beautiful
waking forest on a thirty two degree morning. But I
didn't do that. It's not truly the point I'm trying
to make, or the picture that I'm trying to draw.
The question is where is here? Physically we're present, Mentally,
where is here? Although I'm writing while receiving energy from
the universe, my real here is actually everywhere but here.
With so many expectations today, my heart won't stop planning
things out, my emotions don't want to leave the forest.
Yet I know there has to be an accomplishment everywhere
but here, which tells my soul to refocus, to get
back into the game of what is right now. Daily
writing centers every one of us, and then what does
that take us away? From being prepared. The goal should
be put on calm. Don't teach yourself to write a
story before something happens. Hey Sarow, This is the daily Mass,
a chronological walk through an everyday world. I am a
daily writer, the silent wolf. I sit on the edge
and I just watch, I observe, I listen, I study,
and then we get to create a conversation. This is
the daily Mass. The one thing I hear a lot
about these days is the high cost of storage people
who use these giant warehouses to put furniture and other
items in. Now that the rental space is coming in
at nearly half your monthly payment for the house, people
are having to give up their storage space inside those
four walls. As one friend stated, I didn't want to
come across as a hoarder. That's why I rented the
storage space. But with the cost reaching unaffordable levels, lives
are swiftly changing. My wife and I were deeply dedicated
and loyal to this thing called the Swedish death cleaning.
If you haven't used it in six months and nobody
else in your family wants it, you have to get
rid of it. And we were doing really well until
we've reached the items that still have sentimental value. Suddenly
everything on the Swedish death cleaning stopped, which the experts
say is perfectly normal. My heart goes out to those
who are being forced to move away from their storage places.
Their life is about to change because it's no longer
inside that giant building. Do you sell it? Do you
save it? Or throw it away? With families living together
well beyond their thirties, the house is already full and overflowing.
When is the time to clear out the closet. We
are in a very overcrowded world. And I'm not talking people,
I'm talking about items. We keep buying items. Amazon has
made it so simple for those items to come to
your home. What do we do with the old items?
We set them in the corner, We put them in
a closet, We put them in the garage. We don't
get rid of it now. Personally, I struggle with the
idea of having a garage sale. And the reason why
is because what I think it's worth, nobody's going to
pay that price. And if I try to take it
to a good will, just to relinquish it is one thing,
but to really know that it's no longer going to
be a part of my life is a very tough thing.
It's a mental issue, it really is. It's like the
books that I get from these great authors that send
them to me. I can't read them all. So what
I do is I try to give them all away
to people who love these particular subjects, or I'll take
them to Goodwill. But learning how to lead a clean,
cleared life is not something that happens overnight. Like I said,
my wife and I were doing the swedishtath cleaning. We
were doing so well until we got to the sentimental things.
Now we have to learn to let go. It's just
a thing. It doesn't have a heartbeat, it doesn't think
for you. It's not your best friend. It's just a thing.
What are you storing inside of your head? In reality,
it's costing you energy, it's costing you time to properly heal.
We just keep shoving things away. And that's the very
reason why I'm a daily writer. I don't want to
hold onto it anymore. If I need to get it,
then I'll go back into my daily writing. But the
thing is is that I have thirty years of these journals.
What am I gonna do with them. What I don't
want to do is destroy them, because I've always believed
that what we write and what we create isn't for
this generation. It's for somebody else who just wants to
learn a little bit more. I'm Maril, and that's the
daily mess.
