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
01:00My father always is saying, someday we'll go back
01:04Like I want to be able to cry with my mom
01:07I would like to have that experience, but you were not open to it
01:10Why 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 was born in Afghanistan
01:33I had to do that
01:33I came home to trabajar
