As you can guess, I'm an emigrant trying to understand what will be my destiny.
Fortunately, I'm not alone in this journey: my "She" is with me.
Why did we decide to emigrate?
Whatever is the reason, one thing is SURE: it should be a really good reason, something forcing you to do this because emigrating isn't like a normal trip, emigrating is something very hard to do.
In this case we escaped from a country that rejected us not because we were bad people but, instead, because we were too honest. I know it sounds crazy but it's true. Let's imagine you graduated in something really promising for your professional future but in a country in which you need to know "somebody" to do everything, specially finding a job. Yes, I'm talking about NEPOTISM, total absence of meritocracy....
One day, after about 2 years in which we tried to find a future, we finally decided to go away without coming back anymore.
We were in front a laptop buying a ticket.. a flight... we did this before, many times... but now something was different...we were buying a "one way" ticket. It's a sensation very hard to describe. We knew since that precise moment we would be just the two of us, depending on each other in a foreign country.
One day, in the morning, we were in the airport. My parents are not used to show feelings easily but, that day, I was looking at my old father. He had an expression that I've never seen in my life... I felt sadness in every part of my body...
I was leaving everything, my family, habits, friends and everything I have been until that moment, because I decided to be born again in another country... Big bet!
Me and She overcame the gate and I began to try to focus all my mind on us. Since that moment we were just the two of us... I was scared...We began a journey towards the "UNKNOWN GALAXY".
