And how not to do it ...
"I will return soon" or "I will come for you" It is one of the many words that are heard among "sobs" of thousands of Venezuelans when migrating to another country in search of a better future for their children and other relatives.
With a bag full of hopes, madness, encouragement, strength, but also of uncertainty and fear, the journey begins ...
In this way I prepare myself to undertake a long trip from Venezuela to Chile, a trip I will make by land since I do not have the economic resources to travel by air, I am going in a direction where there is no place for repentance or doubts, only the hope of being able to build a better life in order to offer the well-being that my family deserves. I can not hide the fear I feel, but I think that I would be more afraid to let loose more time and find myself in a worse situation where there are no longer options and I am completely late.
Knowing that it will not be easy, I am willing to carry out different types of work because I know that my work, whatever it may be, will be well paid. Get used to different things, cultures, tastes, personalities, music, food, and weather. I will receive this as a great experience and learning that I know will change my life totally for the better. Without forgetting my roots and the customs of my land, longing to return someday to enjoy and share with my family and friends.
I know there will be times when I will feel lonely and want to cry maybe. At those times I'll put on my headphones and listen to one of my favorite groups (Staind - The Truth) and let my tears come out with no intention of preventing it. because when we mourn we also cleanse our soul and when there are no more tears left we can only laugh and see things from a more comforting point of view.
This trip I will undertake with the favor of God later this month, I will make some recordings and photos of my trip until I arrive in Chile and I will upload them to share with you this journey that I am preparing to undertake.
I will say goodbye to my wife and my son with a big hug and a kiss assuring them that sooner or later we will meet again.
And so in this way to get away, as not turn back, if my heart would be staying in Venezuela.
