1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,839
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,320
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,759
So here we are, but where is here? When I

5
00:00:14,759 --> 00:00:17,600
say this to coworkers and friends, they literally will stop

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,920
for a moment and then go, eh, we are here,

7
00:00:21,399 --> 00:00:24,920
but where is here? I could have easily written out,

8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,600
I'm sitting next to the writing window overlooking this beautiful

9
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,359
waking forest on a thirty two degree morning. But I

10
00:00:30,359 --> 00:00:33,560
didn't do that. It's not truly the point I'm trying

11
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,679
to make, or the picture that I'm trying to draw.

12
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:42,119
The question is where is here? Physically we're present, Mentally,

13
00:00:42,679 --> 00:00:46,280
where is here? Although I'm writing while receiving energy from

14
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,320
the universe, my real here is actually everywhere but here.

15
00:00:51,079 --> 00:00:55,000
With so many expectations today, my heart won't stop planning

16
00:00:55,039 --> 00:00:57,799
things out, my emotions don't want to leave the forest.

17
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,479
Yet I know there has to be an accomplishment everywhere

18
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,760
but here, which tells my soul to refocus, to get

19
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:10,920
back into the game of what is right now. Daily

20
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,359
writing centers every one of us, and then what does

21
00:01:14,359 --> 00:01:17,280
that take us away? From being prepared. The goal should

22
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,120
be put on calm. Don't teach yourself to write a

23
00:01:21,159 --> 00:01:25,120
story before something happens. Hey Sarow, This is the daily Mass,

24
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,079
a chronological walk through an everyday world. I am a

25
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,959
daily writer, the silent wolf. I sit on the edge

26
00:01:31,239 --> 00:01:35,439
and I just watch, I observe, I listen, I study,

27
00:01:35,879 --> 00:01:38,480
and then we get to create a conversation. This is

28
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,760
the daily Mass. The one thing I hear a lot

29
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,799
about these days is the high cost of storage people

30
00:01:45,799 --> 00:01:49,200
who use these giant warehouses to put furniture and other

31
00:01:49,239 --> 00:01:52,280
items in. Now that the rental space is coming in

32
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,719
at nearly half your monthly payment for the house, people

33
00:01:55,719 --> 00:01:59,400
are having to give up their storage space inside those

34
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,120
four walls. As one friend stated, I didn't want to

35
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,879
come across as a hoarder. That's why I rented the

36
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,680
storage space. But with the cost reaching unaffordable levels, lives

37
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:14,800
are swiftly changing. My wife and I were deeply dedicated

38
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,319
and loyal to this thing called the Swedish death cleaning.

39
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,759
If you haven't used it in six months and nobody

40
00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:21,759
else in your family wants it, you have to get

41
00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:25,719
rid of it. And we were doing really well until

42
00:02:25,759 --> 00:02:29,599
we've reached the items that still have sentimental value. Suddenly

43
00:02:30,039 --> 00:02:34,319
everything on the Swedish death cleaning stopped, which the experts

44
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,719
say is perfectly normal. My heart goes out to those

45
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,319
who are being forced to move away from their storage places.

46
00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:44,759
Their life is about to change because it's no longer

47
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:48,840
inside that giant building. Do you sell it? Do you

48
00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:52,199
save it? Or throw it away? With families living together

49
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,400
well beyond their thirties, the house is already full and overflowing.

50
00:02:57,319 --> 00:03:01,159
When is the time to clear out the closet. We

51
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,759
are in a very overcrowded world. And I'm not talking people,

52
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:11,000
I'm talking about items. We keep buying items. Amazon has

53
00:03:11,039 --> 00:03:14,080
made it so simple for those items to come to

54
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:16,520
your home. What do we do with the old items?

55
00:03:16,759 --> 00:03:18,240
We set them in the corner, We put them in

56
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,599
a closet, We put them in the garage. We don't

57
00:03:20,719 --> 00:03:23,120
get rid of it now. Personally, I struggle with the

58
00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:25,840
idea of having a garage sale. And the reason why

59
00:03:25,879 --> 00:03:29,199
is because what I think it's worth, nobody's going to

60
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,639
pay that price. And if I try to take it

61
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,919
to a good will, just to relinquish it is one thing,

62
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,919
but to really know that it's no longer going to

63
00:03:37,919 --> 00:03:39,759
be a part of my life is a very tough thing.

64
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,719
It's a mental issue, it really is. It's like the

65
00:03:42,719 --> 00:03:44,800
books that I get from these great authors that send

66
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,919
them to me. I can't read them all. So what

67
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,120
I do is I try to give them all away

68
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:53,319
to people who love these particular subjects, or I'll take

69
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:58,159
them to Goodwill. But learning how to lead a clean,

70
00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:02,520
cleared life is not something that happens overnight. Like I said,

71
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,479
my wife and I were doing the swedishtath cleaning. We

72
00:04:04,479 --> 00:04:08,919
were doing so well until we got to the sentimental things.

73
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:12,919
Now we have to learn to let go. It's just

74
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:17,519
a thing. It doesn't have a heartbeat, it doesn't think

75
00:04:17,639 --> 00:04:21,879
for you. It's not your best friend. It's just a thing.

76
00:04:23,439 --> 00:04:26,879
What are you storing inside of your head? In reality,

77
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,639
it's costing you energy, it's costing you time to properly heal.

78
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,240
We just keep shoving things away. And that's the very

79
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,160
reason why I'm a daily writer. I don't want to

80
00:04:38,199 --> 00:04:40,360
hold onto it anymore. If I need to get it,

81
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,480
then I'll go back into my daily writing. But the

82
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,680
thing is is that I have thirty years of these journals.

83
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,360
What am I gonna do with them. What I don't

84
00:04:49,399 --> 00:04:52,519
want to do is destroy them, because I've always believed

85
00:04:52,519 --> 00:04:55,079
that what we write and what we create isn't for

86
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,360
this generation. It's for somebody else who just wants to

87
00:04:58,439 --> 00:05:01,399
learn a little bit more. I'm Maril, and that's the

88
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:02,079
daily mess.
