You're going to be judged and probably very lonely also sometimes, but it's worth it.

So,

Absolutely.

And I think it's a paradox, but when people you love very, very, very much die,

There is, of course, a lot of pain, but there is also a certain relief, as if you are free from all this pressure that comes from this love and from the judgment or

the opinion you think this person has on you.

And my father was so important in my life, not only as my father, but also as the incarnation of my Moroccan identity, of certain tradition.

And I think I would not have been able to be the writer I am if he was still alive.

And also...

The fact that he suffered so much and the fact that he endured so much injustice

made me very, very angry.

And I felt that he was dead, but he was still here.

And my real conversation with my father began after his death.

And I don't think that death is the end of a relationship.

It's just shifting, it's different.

But I talked to him and I think I know him and I love him more now

than before and there are a lot of things that i understand now that i didn't understand before and um you know it's strange but i always feel that he's protecting me um that is he's here um if i have a problem or someone want to harm me i always feel that he's he's here and i want to i want revenge i want revenge and i want to clear his name and um

My father wanted to be an artist.

He wanted to be a writer.

And he wanted so many things.
