Today on DFT - Ford details bizarre encounters from his trip to the West Coast. The Young DFT Boyz discuss their Fourth of July weekend activities, a "you were a douche in high school" comment one of them received, and more. Is graduation the first day of the rest of your life, or your last day of substantial growth? Is a lack of a post-grad plan a recipe for depression? Also, Chase is heading back to Florida to complete his post graduate degree as he looks ahead to his next chapter.

Ford tells Chase about his upcoming road trip. Then, the boys have a conversation about the lack of media attention on mental health and the serious effects the COVID lockdown had on people mentally. Finally, we walk each other through our perspectives of the protests and current affairs in America while being open as possible when it comes to how we received other people’s actions, our own lack of action, and our own lack of education surrounding racism in America.

In the first-ever DFT Journals entry, Ford discusses the effects that external influences have had on his state of mind (especially in regard to negativity surrounding COVID-19). He looks at a strategy to cut back on the amount of negativity one takes in, and the amount he or she contributes to the world.
