Alright. Lloyd in the building.
Oh. [whispers] Lloyd in the building.
You okay down there, buddy?
Sometimes I talk to my penis.
It's good to have a relationship with your penis.
It's certainly good for other people
to have a relationship with your penis also.
My penis recently got me in trouble.
I became a father for the first time.
I blame my penis, but I also think it...
Now, there's no better way to start a mood
than with music because music gets the blood going.
It can be relaxing.
So I'll just play a little bit as we start this ASMR.
[playing soft acoustic music]
The power of flaw.
I've never, ever known more perfection
than in things that are imperfect.
Everyone has a flaw,
And often we wish to hide our flaws from people.
Sometimes, in our minds with repetition and immense practice
we sometimes convince ourselves.
But what is a flaw? What is a mistake?
Oftentimes, they are the greatest blessings to ever exist.
I know many mistakes.
I call them friends and family.
I call them my son.
Now, my son is my everything.
He is my motivation, he is my clarity. He is my reason.
And this is a lot like my son's diaper,
besides the fact that it's clean.
But when you really love someone,
you don't mind picking up behind them,
or cleaning their diapers when they're dirty,
or doing the things for them
that they can't do for themselves.
Or, helping them to learn how to do those things.
And this diaper is, I guess, my example of how
to be in love with someone who is helpless at times.
One day, maybe because life is great, big circle,
he'll change my diapers for me.
And I don't know what the hell that is, but, oh.
[toy squeaks]
Let's just listen to the sound of this for a while.
[toy squeaks]
We have to remind ourselves to move inch by inch in life,
especially in trying to find our goals in life.
And I think sometimes it's easy to see further than you need to,
and sometimes when making changes to ourselves or our
lives, it is the smallest, most minute details
that matter the most.
And the first inch could be
identifying with depression,
or insecurity, or fear.
The second inch could be admittance,
saying things out loud.
I have depression or insecurity or anxiety.
The third inch could be communicating these things
to someone else, because first you have to say things sometimes
to yourself, and then to others.
The fourth inch could be focusing on things
you can control, instead of being overwhelmed
by things you cannot.
The fifth inch could be discovering,
uh, a passion, something that you love,
that you can give yourself to,
not in the form of a person necessarily, but maybe a craft.
And the sixth thing could be to reach out
and help someone else who's gone through
similar things as you.
And eventually you add up all these inches,
and then you realize that you are feet
or sometimes miles away from where you started.
And hopefully you end up in a better place,
like maybe around five feet, two inches.
Is it five, two? Or maybe five, three, maybe?
Whichever, you'll be fine too.
This has been a great time for me.
And hopefully through the fun and games maybe,
we learned a little something together.
Most importantly, the power of love, the power of truth,
and the power of flaw being beautiful.
I am Lloyd, have a blessed day.
[sound effect] Shhhhh
