How does missing play a part in your life? Because you said you belong to 5—

yeah, 5 different countries.

How does missing fall into that? Because you can only be in one place at once.

I just feel that when missing […] it's just part of me that—you feel lonely, and then you just remember something that you connected to, and you just want to be part of … that point of time. If you know what I mean. […] So uh, so missing a country for example, um, I mean—when I miss, some childhood memories in Iraq, or when I miss New Zealand now or something like that […] at that point of time, that I'll be feeling lonely here, and present, so I'll be remembering and missing some other stuffs? Other stuff. Do you know what I mean?

What other stuff?

Um, I mean it's either when you're missing somebody, okay so, I feel that I want to see them, and I —at that point of time it's just because I'm alone, so I just want to see those people again and just .. have .. reconnect with them, or something like that. If I'm missing a place as well it's the same, it's either I'm alone or I'm bored or something like that and you just start missing those places that you want to go to, um, as I said countries, Palestine, New Zealand, Iraq, all of those places.

Do you think the loneliness is what causes the missing, or the missing is what causes the loneliness?

That's a good question actually. That's a very good question. But I think they're—whatever's triggered first will connect to the other. I mean if you start missing somebody—some people, then you'll probably start thinking about them and then you'll end up lonely (laugh) thinking—at that point of time. Or if you're lonely then you start thinking about other, other stuff, and then all of a sudden you remember people and you start missing certain things.
