00:00I can't really remember when I stopped hugging my parents.
00:07Ever since I was little, my parents taught me how to hide imperfections.
00:12It became easier to just hide myself instead.
00:18Quality time, I mean you and I, quality time is like a loser.
00:26As time went on, I felt like it wasn't okay to be you.
00:29I couldn't be my full self at home, so I didn't feel at home.
00:35I needed to confront walls, both miles away and deep within.
00:44I was born in Palestine in Safad.
00:46I was born in Mexico City.
00:48And I remember the bustle and hustle.
00:50We both came to the United States not because we came here for a better life,
00:57but because we were running away from something.
01:01My father always is saying, someday we'll go back.
01:04Like, I want to be able to cry with my mom.
01:08I would like to have that experience, but you were not open to it.
01:11Why was I not open to it?
01:12Because I wasn't open to it.
01:16I wanted to know my parents.
01:20But to do that, I also had to let them know me.
01:26I want to be able to cry with my mom.
01:29I want to be able to cry with my mom.
01:32I want to be able to cry with my mom.
01:33I want to cry with my mom.
01:33Vielen Dank.
