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.
