Damn, I wasn't ready for how this would feel. We didn't have a camcorder, so there's no video of me with my mom. I dropped one of my favorite photos of us in midjourney as 'starting frame for an AI video' and wow... This is how she hugged me. I've rewatched it 50 times.

**naomiii.eth**: i have mixed emotions on this one... 

is it saying that unless we have videos of the hugs they didn't happen? (I know they did but we all know and yet that's not enough?) 


**tim**: Why mixed feelings?
