Lesson From the Road

📓4 June 2025

I don't hit and run, it's not my style.

I went back to the scene to assure there's a wounded life I could save, or a dead body I need to clear. I cannot live with that doubt for the rest of my life. It will tear me apart every time I think back on that moment.

What happened had happened. Anything that happens in time is irrevocable. But I will do my best to mend it, to find closure, so that I can move on with peace.

I will not give guilt a chance to bully me.

And when all is done, I ended up saving the life of another stray kitten from that busy roadside. I had passed it on to a good hand, and it will live a good life now, maybe for a while, hopefully forever.

The feeling of this frail kitten on my palm when I picked it up off the street with no apparent injury, and then brought it to the next safe place, is far more rewarding than what I asked for when I drove back there.

I am grateful for my courage.
