Hey, there! I begin this episode with a tea talk (mint tea in a Juan Valdez mug) and a life update about school, my week, and a PE class. I introduce this week’s topic with a definition, context, and structure. Firstly, I share stories with my sister, teacher, outings, and meetings that exemplify unreliability. Secondly, I analyse why it bothers me so much: its a combination of my tendency to depend, holding myself to high standards, and feeling unimportant. Thirdly, I step back and clarify that I’m guilty myself, and realise that this hatred is a mirror effect, a consequence of imbalance, and a lack of empathy. I wrap up with some takeaways and my favourites in podcasts, series, and albums.
