I went to therapy yesterday and came away with a sheet of Unhelpful Thinking Styles that I'm supposed to remember so I can notice when I'm exhibiting one of them. I'm really happy with it, and it definitely feels like a step in the right direction, but also sometimes I feel like the reason I'm sad is less about the things that I'm telling myself, and more about the fact that things are demonstrably shit. I had some fun with this one. Music: What Kinda Music - Tom Misch & Yussef Dayes

I've realised I don't think I have ever said the phrase, "Thanks for asking" to anyone, because I never wait for someone to ask how I'm doing, I just fire away with my bullshit. In a way, you listening to this podcast is basically you asking me how I'm doing, or at least, if you know what the podcast is, then yeah. If you don't know what this podcast is, probably don't listen to it, it might be to cool for you. Music: Venezuela Riddim - Hak Baker (Check out the video for this song on YouTube, it is so, so beautiful!)

Isn't it wild how some artists can latch on to certain feelings or recurring moments in life in such a way that whenever you find yourself back in that familiar place, you think of them and their work? It's such a bummer to admit that Ed Sheeran has done that with me. Anyway, that's a cool thought I had at the start of the podcast this week. The rest of this is probably trash.

Last week a friend messaged me after listening to the podcast and took me to task about what I said on the topic of the Black Lives Matter protest, he was right in doing so. I read the message out, answered as best I could, and talked a little more about the day I had at the protest, and the week I've had since. Pretty intense one this week - at least that's how it felt. Music: Kwame Nkrumah - Kojey Radical

Last week sucked, me and the lady I've been seeing for the last few months finally ended things, also I was looking for a new person to move in to the other room in my place, and then there was the high tension of the BLM protest on Saturday. Lots to learn, lots to feel, all very important, but very difficult for me, and that's what this podcast is about: me. Music: Love to Angie - Red Astaire

Last night we had a gig in the shed at my house in East Brunswick to mark the first easing of social distancing restrictions in Victoria. Were allowed to have 20 people in residences, so that's what we did! The gig was great, and I feel confident in what I need to do over the next few months. HI FIVE!! Music: Chemicals - SG Lewis

Last night the girl I've been seeing and I walked around the park for five hours talking about whether we were going to keep seeing each other. I've never been more honest and open with someone in my life, it was exhilirating, scary, tiring and ultimately, cathartic. If I've achieved nothing else in these last few months of isolation, at least I can say I did that.

After talking last week about the girl I've been seeing and my evolving thoughts on seeing other people at the same time, someone wrote me with a bunch of advice and thoughts based on their experience, so I went through that. Also admitted to watching a full Emma Chamberlain video on YouTube, which was pretty brutal. Music: Not That Special - Lily Moore Photo Credit: Ann Gibbons

Didn't mean to talk about personal, love-life shit today, but I did. I guess that's what's on my mind, I'm excited about it, I'm really having a great time lately, I wouldn't change much about life right now, except stand up not existing. And my phone. Fucking JB Hi-Fi. I still hate you dogs. Music: Enough - Bad Sounds

I think I'm a much angrier person than I realise, usually it's only at myself which is probably why I never give it the credit it deserves. Anyway, on Friday night I had a great time uncovering that with a mate who is also angry in a similar way. One week without my beloved Google Pixel 3 down, three to go.
