--- aliases: [Embrace the weeds] --- Getting "lost" in your own weeds is okay. It's good! A journey doesn't have to only be through the "fancy", commonly agreed-upon ideas and concepts. That's why I added the skip MOCs option. To make sure you 'take the scenic route'. Embrace the weeds. Embrace the weirdness. [[Embrace Your Mess]]! Embrace the messy version of yourself that's not clear and not perfect. Learn to appreciate it more than the cleaned up "model" version that you want to project. As mentioned in [[STEAL LIKE AN ARTIST! (Book)]], the real and perfect 'you' appears _after_ the fact as the result of all of the mess. Don't try to write the story before you've lived it. Also, no need to be boring. [[All good fiction is fuelled by human weaknesses and bad decisions]]. ## The messy version - ![[embrace-your-mess.png]] ## The 'perfect' version is just a boring simplified model - ![[our-desire-to-be-perfect-and-clean.png]] ## Related - An idea from the [[Obsidian Shuffle Plugin]]: - [["Your Mess Becomes Your Message"]] - [[Dan Scanlon's "Your mess becomes your message" Pixar Story]] - [[STEAL LIKE AN ARTIST!
