This has been playing on my mind lately… and I’m curious if anyone else feels the same? Friendships in my 30s feel so different to how they did in my 20s. It’s more… Yoga, walk and meaningful conversation instead of trying to shout over each other in a packed...

Chat: What advice would you give to make a long-distance relationship work? Zeudi: Let’s talk about it. You all need to know—though I think you already do—that I’ve never believed in long-distance relationships. My fault, I admit it. I’ve never believed in them, so imagine at the beginning of my relationship with Scarlett. Far be it from me—I used to say, ‘Impossible.’ After being single for three years, I thought, ‘Yeah right, like you’re going to get with a girl who lives on the other side of the world.’ Okay, not exactly the other side of the world—it’s about a two-and-a-half-hour flight—but still, there’s distance. But lesbians are kind of like that, for the most part. So I said, ‘I don’t know about long-distance relationships.’ I thought, ‘There will be so many doubts, so many issues.’ But I can assure you that distance doesn’t matter as much as you think. It’s paradoxical for me to say this now, because when I wasn’t in it, I couldn’t understand it. Then I realized: ‘Actually, it’s not the distance that gives you insecurities. If anything, any insecurities come from the person you’re with.’ And fortunately, I don’t have that discomfort, because I feel really good with Scarlett. In fact, I think she has given me more reassurance than anyone I’ve been with in my previous relationships—and this is still a long-distance relationship. In fact, these days I was thinking about it. I was like, ‘How is it possible that this girl manages to make me feel calm even though we’re four hours apart between flights, cars, and everything else?’ Why? Because we communicate, we talk, we get to know each other better—even while speaking two different languages. It’s paradoxical, but it’s true. So we found each other, obviously—but not all long-distance relationships will be like this, not because they’re long-distance, but because they’re relationships. You never know what can happen in a relationship, or how much the other person will reassure you—or not. I didn’t believe in long-distance relationships. Of course, everything has its own timing, so you need to know how to wait. But I’ll be honest—I didn’t believe in them. Yes, I’m in love. Guys, I’ll repeat this: being in love and love itself are two completely different and separate things. Love takes time. But yes, I’m deeply in love. I feel amazing with Scarlett, and the sense of security she gives me—again—no one else has ever given me that. That’s also why I made the relationship public. Because sooner or later it would have come out anyway, given that I’m somewhat of a public figure now—even if only a little. But also because she gives me security, and I like sharing something beautiful that happened to me—namely, having a wonderful person like Scarlett in my life. But she’ll never hear any of this anyway, because I’m speaking in Italian—so that’s even better, because she doesn’t need to know anything. ❤️❤️

On this day, 52 years ago, John Cassavetes' "The Ki!!ing of a Chinese Bookie" (1974) was released in the USA. John Cassavetes explaining why he made the movie: "'A Woman Under the Influence' (1974) was the first picture I’ve had anything to do with that wasn’t made out of plain, simple feeling, but rather out of a real desire to do something in my profession. It was extremely frightening for me not to come to work out of enthusiasm and instead put myself up as something of a craftsman. Earlier films such as 'Shadows' (1958) and 'Husbands' (1970) grew out of personal experiences reaching all the way back to my childhood days. They were expressions of my innermost feelings, and now that I’ve dealt with all that, I feel obligated to view life in other terms. I want to explore other areas of human and artistic experience. I made 'The Ki!!ing of a Chinese Bookie' (1976) as an intellectual experiment– not because I am in love with it. I enjoy a more intellectual and less emotionally demanding view than in my previous work. If I can make, out of certain intellectual ideas, films that are complex in their nature, then I’m entering into new ground. And that is certainly something I look forward to. It is a film that has little to do with me and with how I feel about life. It’s interesting to me to see how other people live in our society, to look at them and ask myself, ‘Why do they do it? And how do they do it?’ Without trying to explain. The fun and challenge of the film was to imagine a self-contained world different from the one I live in: to move into it and live in it." ("Cassavetes on Cassavetes", edited by Ray Carney, 2001)

Harry McKay: “Five or six weeks ago, in late February, I started feeling in not a great place mentally. I think the most challenging part of that was me thinking I shouldn’t be feeling the way I was. Everything in my life, to be honest, was in a really great place - the football club, I love my teammates so much and was in a great place in terms of footy. The most beautiful, loving partner and family being so supportive. Everything in my world was in such a great place, and that’s why it was really scary that it didn’t make a lot of sense. I guess you could say it was really irrational to feel like that, and as that progressed and unfortunately feeling in a worse and worse spot, I had to put on a bit of a facade to pretend to be okay when I really wasn’t. That was really hard, as a male who would hang their hat on always turning up, being stoic, pushing through. But it got to a place where I had to put a hand up and say I needed some help. Feeling in a place where you’re really blue and not yourself, but feeling like you have to put a facade on to pretend that everything was okay reached a tipping point, it was scary. But I needed to put my hand up and say I’m not okay and need some help. That can be really tough to see someone like that, but it got to a stage where it was really the only option. We can try and be stoic and push through, and it’s definitely how I’m wired a bit. It was so irrational, because everything - footy, family, life - was in a great place. On paper, it made no sense, which probably added to the want to keep pushing through. But the more I did, the worse I felt. The moment I did that, the support has been so beautiful - from my partner, family, the wider football community and definitely involved in my club. I knew everyone would be great, but it’s blown me away how loving, caring and supportive everyone has been. The start of the footy season is such an exciting, fun time. With every domain being in such a great place, the things that bring you so much joy usually, that contributed to feeling really confused and spiralling around that. Something I’ve learnt through this process is the domains of life you love the most - playing footy, competing with your teammates, inspiring young kids, running out in front of our fans - are the hardest things to do when you’re in a dark place. That can be hard to get your head around, but a lot of people would be able to relate that when you’re feeling at your worst, the things you love are the hardest things to do. The care for me as a person has been so profound. There’s footy, then there’s life - how much my teammates have wrapped their arms around me and given me love and support… I always knew footy clubs are such a great place when things are tough, but I’ve been blown away by the love and care from my closest people, especially within the Club. It gets spoken about a bit, but being able to talk about it and share what you’re going through with people you love or care about you a lot, it really helps. It’s a weight off your shoulders when you can get to a place where you can share. There’s often a perception of being unsure of how people might be, hesitation about how someone might react. Everyone has been so beautiful, so caring and alleviated any worry or judgment. If one person can take something from a shared experience from being able to talk and confide in the people you love, I’ll be happy. I feel really lucky to feel like myself again. Anyone that has been through something similar can understand there’s a physical toll that comes with going through something like this, and in the last week or two it’s been about hitting those markers and working on a plan to get back to a great level. That’s why it was so awesome to get some minutes in and hit some of those markers in the VFL on the weekend. To be able to tick off some of those things will hold me in good stead for Gather Round this week - and I’m really excited to run out in front of Carlton fans again, who have been so beautiful, and with my teammates competing together. One of the great things about going through something challenging is the learning and self-awareness, the knowledge in this space that people can help. If it’s something that comes up in the future, you’re in a much better place to be able to deal with it and have it at a more manageable level. People knowing more about me only helps as well. You can’t just click your fingers and it goes away, it’s something to work through into the future - but I’m in a much better place to be able to handle that. Being in a position where we have a mic in front of us, we can sit here and if it can help one person have a conversation or confide in a family member or friend, there’s some amazing organisations that are purely here to help. Speaking about it was a weight off my shoulders - I’m really grateful to be in a better place, the love has been so profound and I can’t wait to get back out there. I’m really happy to have a smile on my face again.”
