Have you ever felt like you were about to die? Not in the “one day I’ll die” kind of way, but in the “this is it, my time has come—goodbye, world” way?That happened to me at the end of 2023. I was riding my bike home, and I was completely sure I wouldn’t make it back alive. It was the strangest, most unsettling feeling—so intense that it left me in shock for a while. Only when I got home, my safe place, did I start to process what had just happened and realize I was okay. I was alive.It’s crazy how unprepared we are to deal with the one thing we know for sure will happen. Even though we’re aware of it, we just push it aside and keep living—until we don’t. Until it’s too late to think about what we should have done while we were here.Because thinking about death is really thinking about life. And that’s exactly what we’re going to do in today’s episode.I’m Vitor Leite, a journalist by training and a writer at heart, and this is Some Deep Shit—a podcast where I put into words the deep thoughts I wish I had heard somewhere out there.---Visit our online space and subscribe to get everything firsthand, straight to your inbox. https://somedeepproductions.substack.com

Do you also feel that the more time passes, the harder it gets to chase our dreams?It seems that the older we get, the more we have to lose. As if, throughout life, we keep packing more and more into our little suitcase, and the heavier it gets, the harder it becomes to move.People, places, memories, foods, objects... We stuff everything into that suitcase. Sometimes, even things that harm us or no longer make sense to carry end up in there.As long as we are happy with the life we’re living, the suitcase sits there, still and open, waiting for new things to come in. But when that urge for change hits, when we finally feel ready to chase our dreams, that same suitcase can become a very heavy burden. So heavy that it might keep us from moving forward.It’s not easy, but it is possible. And that’s what we’re talking about in today’s episode.I’m Vitor Leite, a journalist by training and a writer by passion, and this is Some Deep Shit, a podcast where I share some deep thoughts about life — the kind of thoughts I wish I’d heard out there.

As 2024 draws to a close, I sit down to reflect on the lessons learned, the challenges faced, and the dreams still burning brightly.
