My object of comfort is a CD, but the content inside of it is what makes the connection between me and two persons, and for me the most important persons in my life. Who else can be more important, than the two persons that made you come to life, the two persons that fed you and took care of you with no conditions, with getting nothing but spending time on you, even though time is precious and impossible to get back they were spending every second of their lives to keep me alive. Yes, I am talking about my parents, the CD is the recording of how I was born, and the time-lapse from day one until day three hundred and sixty-five of being born. Provided that, how does my object make me feel connected to my parents? Well, the first time I saw the video was when I was living in Guatemala for studying in Montreal, Canada. My emotions at that moment were all mixed because of the situation and because that I what changes provoke on the human’s psychological side. When I watched my nose started feeling itchy, my skin was feeling different, my eyes started evacuating tears, and I wanted to stop, but it was impossible. Looking at me as a baby, looking at my dad happier than ever, my mom tire but still with a smile from cheek to cheek, it was simply a connection of memories that I couldn’t remember because I was there, but my brain was not even formed completely. I can watch the video ten times, that the same emotions and reactions to me would happen again and again, and immediately feel a connection with them even though we are thousands of kilometers far away.
