I probably won’t be saying this when I’m old but the way I look at life is I’m good to work until I die and I’m not bothered about being wealthy so I’m gonna spend my best years pursuing my passions rather than waiting till I’m 70 when my mind and body are spent.

Sharing this on this dreary Friday cause everyone needs to hear it once in a while. First heard it when I was in turmoil about whether to drop out of uni or not and it was like cold water in the face: open.spotify.com/track/5sVuzjB0…

Sounds weird but I do believe in divine intervention. The old me would have just called it luck but I think it’s something deeper than that.

Dunno if I’m just speaking as a self sabotager but I think there’s something perverse in us that actually enjoys indulging our sadness and remaining sad. It’s like staying in bed in the morning when your alarm goes off and it’s cold outside instead of going for a run.

Late to the party as always but thanks for the love this year you bunch of belters. The way the songs have caught fire and spread blows my mind and pushes me to do better and give you more. Music is like my God and my best friend and my therapist. Can’t wait to come back out 🦋

Read a short story by Edgar Allan Poe a while ago, set in the future, and in it they celebrate plagues and disasters as a necessary and natural cull. I wonder if that’s how it’ll go.

Honestly can’t recommend running enough to anyone that gets overwhelmed by the seemingly chaotic nature of the universe. So many times it’s been my anchor to keep me pushing in other aspects of my life where the fruits of labour aren’t so linear or immediate.

This is amazing (obviously) but there’s something sad about watching a man grow old too, isn’t there? Life’s over in a flash and everything we have we lose eventually... youtu.be/wAIZ36GI4p8

I dunno who needs to hear this but if you block out the bullshit and the politics and just keep doing the right thing, you’ll rise to where you deserve to be and you’ll sleep with a clear conscience having gotten there by being honest and good.

I hate the way they portray us in the media. If you see a self employed person, it says they should have savings, if you see an employed person, it says they need urgent support and, you know, it’s been 5 days... Boris Johnson doesn’t care about freelancers.

Made the best soup I've ever made tonight and recorded this little fella singing his wee heart out. Hope everyone has a good week settling into these strange times. One day at a time, eh?

The talented buggers that make up Tessera Skies remixed my song Oklahoma a little while ago and it’s online now! So crazy and cool hearing it like this. Check it out and get ready for their album later this year...
