Monday Blues, Work Woes, and Birthday Reflections with Luke Hand
Has this amazing humanity that says: this is me and this is me in the raw. I can look at myself in the mirror, I can look at my mistakes, look at my emotional baggage, my political past, my wrestling with all of this stuff, and I can call stuff for what it is. And that's very, very attractive.
Ever had a day where everything feels like it's piling up, but you just push through anyway? Luke Hand's latest diary entry dives into one of those days. He starts off bracing for a tough work meeting, only to find it wasn't as bad as he feared. Still, the frustrations of the day linger, and he ends up clocking out with a few unresolved issues. Luke's take? 'Yolo tho. Guess that’s Monday’s problem'.
After sweeping up and lounging around, he turns his thoughts to birthdays. Normally indifferent to them, Luke admits feeling particularly down around his own in recent years. This introspection hints at a deeper sense of flatness he's been experiencing lately. A dinner and debrief with his mum offer a bit of solace, but the mood remains heavy.
With mood and energy ratings both at a low 3, and life's lemons feeling particularly sour, Luke's honesty about his struggles is both relatable and poignant. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the daily grind or found yourself dreading your birthday, this episode is a raw and real look into how Luke navigates those feelings.
