| ( acoustic guitar music playing ) |
00:00:18.519 - 00:00:20.521 |
| Girl: Everything worth anything
is both terrifying and beautiful. |
00:00:35.827 - 00:00:39.457 |
| ( birds chirping ) |
00:00:41.166 - 00:00:43.168 |
| Like the first time you do something
that you know is wrong. |
00:00:43.335 - 00:00:45.929 |
| - ( silent )
- ( squawks ) |
00:00:46.088 - 00:00:48.432 |
| Girl: You know it's wrong
and yet you do it anyway. |
00:00:48.590 - 00:00:51.264 |
| There was a ladybug
crawling around my ankle |
00:00:56.139 - 00:00:58.938 |
| when I saw Victoria let her
grandmother's bird escape from its cage. |
00:00:59.101 - 00:01:02.981 |
| I watched the bird disappear
into the endless sky like a lonely balloon. |
00:01:03.146 - 00:01:07.117 |
| It was so sad. |
00:01:11.113 - 00:01:13.161 |
| That image left a scar
that never completely healed, |
00:01:17.077 - 00:01:19.796 |
| because until then
I thought that bad things |
00:01:19.955 - 00:01:22.834 |
| could only happen by accident,
never on purpose. |
00:01:23.000 - 00:01:26.300 |
| ( people vocalizing ) |
00:01:31.842 - 00:01:33.970 |
| It was Victoria who first
made me confront |
00:01:35.095 - 00:01:37.598 |
| that danger existed
on the inside of everybody. |
00:01:37.764 - 00:01:40.187 |
| Now she's coming to my school. |
00:01:45.355 - 00:01:47.323 |
| Mom, that's so much worse. |
00:01:59.119 - 00:02:01.292 |
| Every year
my mother hopes |
00:02:04.333 - 00:02:05.801 |
| this five-hour drive to school
will be something that it never is. |
00:02:05.959 - 00:02:09.133 |
| What I share
with my mother is silence. |
00:02:10.130 - 00:02:13.054 |
