Dating in Dahab - this episode relates to some recent breakthroughs I have made on my travels in Dahab, Egypt. I keep feeling like I am being presented with old cycles and deep-rooted patterns around dating in preparation for something real. This is a raw honest account of my current dating life (after being non-existent for years), my past and my reflections. It's the breaking of the cycle of my anxious attachment towards the avoidant man - a love story that has been made popular in stories like Sex & the City, Gossip Girl and Bridgeton.👽 If you want to support the show, subscribe or donate to my Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/planetmew 🔗 Related Links: www.planetmew.com.au 🪐 Plz subscribe on my YouTube if you CBF because it helps me make money off my art and because the children need me x.Support the show

You can watch the video with this album on YouTube here.This album is a project just for fun that has been circling back to me for years but I had the urge to record it while staying in Dahab, Egypt. Album is a strong word - it's a collection of a cappella titbits I've writen over the years. I realised after I recorded it that I was staying in a house that was on 'Hip-Hop' street, hence the cover art. I also realised this is episode #44, an most important number to me. So it feels special I guess. It's another leap into not giving a fuck about what people think in terms of releasing my art into the world. Maybe it took me years to record this because it took that long to have the courage to post it. "The artist committing himself to his calling has volunteered for hell..." Steven Pressfield wrote. "He will be dining for the duration on a diet of isolation, rejection, self-doubt, despair, ridicule, contempt, and humiliation.” Welcome to hell. I think everyone who listens to rap secretly writes some in their notes on their phone. What a beautiful world if we all felt free enough in self expression to share them. This is particularly taboo for girls. At least where I'm from. I hope I can show them that if I can release them when this isn't even my calling, they can do it especially if it is their passion.The title comes from my best friend Raquel, who christened me the name 'lil journey' when I first shared with her my raps. I'm always talking about the journey she recons. It was so funny that I couldn't not name it that. mew will always be my artist name but lil journey is the name of this album. I guess it is spiritual rap.Lyrics on my website: planetmew.com.auSupport the show

One is evil – it is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego." “The other is good – it is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.”The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”Support the show
