Marc Maron

These are the words that I guess I'm trying to share with you because all of them seem negative.

But out of that combination, I became a more full, compassionate, empathetic, wiser, funnier person.

humble person, but I couldn't have done it without that path through those words and what they mean and sharing them with you.

So I'm driving in my car and I realized like, dude, you are fully in your life right now.

You just turned 62 years old and you're fully in your life right now.

And I don't know if I've ever felt that.

It's taken me

This long to get here.

And I know that not everybody's like me.

And I don't need to talk about why I'm like I am.

You know, I've done that exploration.

This being in the world in the form and with the sense of self I have now is a new experience.

Because I've done everything to not avoid it, but to just keep moving.

And I'm realizing now as we slow the show down that I have not really sat with myself and just sat with the frequency of what is in my immediate environment, in my immediate life, with a sense of accomplishment, with a sense of peace, with a sense of appreciation for what I've done and for other people.

And it's overwhelming, but it's new to me.

But I just remember,

When I got this place and I was thrilled about the studio, having a studio here, but then the sound wasn't right and I was trying to record the first day I was here and they were jackhammering around the corner and I just freaked out because it was bleeding into the room.

My old garage was so insulated with shit from my life that it was a perfect sound.

And I just remember I still had my headphones around my neck and I ran around the corner to where they were doing the construction and I was in the middle of the street

looking at these guys working construction going, how long are you going to be doing this?
