This whole podcast was incredibly emotional. ❤️🩹
…
Moderator: Were you afraid of the conversation?
MZ: Wow. I mean, I literally almost shit myself. Because you're simply afraid of being rejected, that you suddenly end up standing there alone, with no roof over your head, because your family says, “No, we don't want anything to do with something like that.”
Moderator: That is...
MZ: And you're just afraid that the people who loved so incredibly much might suddenly tell you “You're not my daughter anymore.”
Moderator: Yeah.
MZ: Either you're loved or you can somehow look for something else tomorrow. The only thing my mom said was “So, yeah, what actually is your problem?”
Moderator: That's gold, right?
MZ: Of course I cried my eyes out and she was like “Well, are you happy or not?” And I was like “What…that's it now?” She was like “Are you happy or not?” And I was like “Yes.” She was like “Well, then I don't understand the problem right now, why you're crying.” And she just took me tightly into her arms. I felt like I completely collapsed inside, and she took me into her arms, just held me tight and simply gave me the feeling: “Hey, you're my daughter, no matter which gender you like, no matter what.” This conversation was everything or nothing for me. And then, in that moment, your mother gives you such a lightness that you think: “Wow, I was genuinely overwhelmed by that.”
