I am a Palestinian and I’ve been struggling with the feelings of confinement, since I live in Bethlehem and my life is surrounded by walls and movement restrictions. But for the past year I’ve been working on changing my approach to life and see things from a perspective of empowerment instead of victim-hood.
My depression and feelings of being locked in have vanished and I found that freedom must be cultivated from within.
So lately many people around me have been expressing to me how bored they are during the Coronavirus quarantine, but I realized that boredom is necessary since it is a great opportunity for self reflection, growth and reevaluation.
I made this video to reflect on how we can find happiness and freedom and most importantly how to live an authentic life.
