The Validity of Guilt, the Soul of a Dog & the Waterfall With No Water
Life is rarely one long, continuous story. More often, it’s a collection of moments — snapshots of emotions, thoughts, and turning points that stay with us long after they pass.
In this episode, I share several of those snapshots.
Some are vivid and warm, others a little jagged around the edges.
There’s the ache in my back that brought up an unexpected conversation with Guilt. Not the kind that crushes you, but the kind that quietly sits in the corner, reminding you of what mattered.
There’s Sara, the Dalmatian puppy with “imperfect” spots who picked me twice at a flea market. She understood love, loyalty, and timing better than most humans do. My memories of her still carry both joy and ache.
And then there’s the day I sat at a waterfall with no water — surrounded by heat, parched earth, and my own homesickness. It was a moment I thought I would hold forever… until life (in the form of ticks) reminded me to move on.
Each memory stands alone, yet together they trace a map of my inner life. They’re pieces of the person I’ve become — shaped by joy, loss, humour, and even the smallest details that once seemed unimportant.
