@ur_jil18: After watching this movie, it really made me cry. "GASOLINA" scenes by @Joseph Sabello on IG made me stop doubting. Made me stop being mad at my father. I am a woman who grew up with a very strict father. A very abusive father. And a father who could be manipulative in ways I am only now learning to name. I grew up not knowing where I belonged in my own family. I could never say the words that other people say "there's no place like home" because my home was never that place. My home was different. My home was not the safe harbor it should have been. I understand now that my parents did what they did because they thought it was the only way. Maybe that was their way of teaching us. Maybe they wanted to raise strong children. Respectful children. And in some ways, they succeeded. But I grew up full of doubts about my parents. Do not misunderstand me. I know my parents love me. We are alive. We are here. And I am grateful for that. I would not be standing here today without my parents. That is a fact I will never deny.But I will also never forget the pressure they put on me. The way they spoke to me. The most painful words I have ever heard in my entire life came from their mouths. These were the people I thought I could call my family. My companions. My safest place. The arms I thought I could run back to every time the world broke me down. I was wrong. I know it is a terrible thing to feel doubt toward your own parents. Society tells us to honor them. To love them without question. But maybe someday I will find it in my heart to truly forgive them. For now, I still carry feelings I cannot control when I think about seeing them. When I think about hearing their voices. To my mother and my father: I want you to know that despite everything despite the pain, the pressure, the words that still echo in my head I am still proud of you. I see your hard work. I see everything you sacrificed to give us the life we have today. I know how hard it is to raise children in this broken world. But I am still hurting. I am still not ready to talk to you. Not yet. But one thing I can promise you I will return home strong. And when I am healed, I will come back to your arms again. That is a promise I make with everything I have left. This movie made me realize something painful and beautiful at the same time. It made me realize that my father was not a good father to us. And he was not a good husband to my mother. He was abusive. He was manipulative. He left scars that do not fade. But even after all of that he still did his best. He still worked. He still provided. He still tried to give us a life we could be proud of. And I am proud of him for that. I am. He may never be the perfect father I dreamed of as a little girl. He may never be the father my siblings deserved. But I will always be his fourth daughter. That is something no one can ever take away from him. Not from him. Not from my siblings. Not from anyone. I know now that "Gasolina" will always be my favorite movie. Because it made me realize that not all fathers are bad. Some fathers do terrible things. Some fathers break your heart over and over again. But deep down, they still remember. They still try. They still do whatever they can to be a father to their children. This movie made me cry so much. It made me think. It made me feel things I have been running from for years. I am still young. And none of us are perfect. We all make mistakes. And from those mistakes, we can learn. We can grow. We can become better than the people who raised us. To my father and I want to include my mother in this too: I have not spoken to you in a long time. And right now, I am still not well enough to talk to you. But someday when I am ready, and when all this pain has finally healed I will come back to you. But I will always come back. I love you. Thank you, Sir @josephsabello for making this movie. You have touched so many people with this story. You have touched me.More than you will ever know. #gasolina #ungart
