Really, am I satisfied with what I do? ... Many of us go through the profound experience of being migrants. And surely they identify with my feeling.
Emigrating implies an emotional change, a personal breakdown and a new construction. It's taking on a new culture trying to protect your own, adapting to the other while still being you.
To emigrate is to be nobody when you are already someone, to be without having and to have without knowing, it is a pain that tastes like pleasure, an emotional situation where being happy is an obligation and missing is a right.
Wow, it can't be said and expressed better!!! That's right and the strongest thing of all this is, to restructure mentally! I think that when every Venezuelan has to write his story after this lived phase, the learning will become a doctorate level!
Migration is not a black and white issue, there are nuances, there are stories of good people, who are the majority and others who are not so much. In life and in migration the easiest thing is always to judge. What we see outside also happens to us inside and many times we react without knowing everything.
I have already emigrated several times for work reasons and have returned to my country. When you migrate, there is a feeling of instability, which sometimes does not allow you to plan or breathe calmly and wait for the tide to pass.
Without a doubt, having criteria is to take care of our mentality and not get carried away by everything they say or don't say, it's about discerning and not judging... Be as objective as possible to learn how to regulate emotions.
Last but not least, so as not to fall into a world of folly and something hostile. I think it is very important that our mind does not consume yellowist news, that what they achieve is to create terror among the crowd, with negative news.We have to educate ourselves and think beyond the obvious and not eat all the stories that are on the networks in relation to emigration... It is necessary to have independence of thought.
It is from the rational point of view it is inevitable to forget the land where you are born because it is an imprint in our DNA that we cannot avoid because our soul is connected to the roots and when we reflect on it, then nostalgia arises.
We have to accept the cycles when we migrate. There will be moments of expansion, joy, clarity and others of contraction, emptiness, silence, purging ❤️🔥
Sometimes, changes do not mean retrogression, but a process of renewal. When we emigrate, each stage brings its charm and moments of pause are also part of growth. Nothing really stops, everything is transformed. Brave applause for those of us who are planning to emigrate, and those who have already done so.

What would you say was the single most difficult part of relocating and how did you overcome it? Did you ever miss the place you left and regret moving?

Always in that process of the move I said to myself and I hold it today "what ends is about to begin" time awakens and returns us to the memory of the origin, it's as if it tells me "remember who you are", wherever you are.
Happy start of December, Christmas is coming 🎄
