The year 2024 was a difficult year in my daily reality and in my personal life. Without going into too much detail, I could say that the situation of the country had an important part in the things that happened, not only in my life, but in the life of all Cubans.
Reviewing the year that almost ended, as Galen suggests in one of his topics. I conclude, with a certain sadness, that I had practically only one purpose in this whole period.
Valle de Viñales
From the beginning of the year I had as a clear objective to emigrate safely and legally with my husband and daughter. It's no secret that emigration in Cuba has reached unthinkable numbers. It has left many families dismembered and scattered all over the world. The phenomenon leaves a painful mark of separation and uncertainty.
For us Cubans, obtaining a visa to go abroad is really difficult. Getting it for the countries we usually want, is even worse. Whether for economic, cultural, political or simply personal reasons, the preferred places are Spain, the United States, Italy or some other European country, I'm not saying that there are not others and I am not mentioning them in order of preference, I'm only giving some examples. But the truth is that Cubans nowadays we travel wherever it is possible, it's so real and sad and the search for a viable way is a titanic task.
I never thought of emigrating from my island, I like it...it is beautiful. But for some time now it has become a firm resolution. It was in 2024 and will continue to be in 2025.
Obviously, this goal will not be achieved in the year that is almost over, so the phrase used by our host in the post of this Weekend Engagement fits me like a glove. The goal has not changed, but I will adjust the action steps to achieve it...let's hope so.
Happy 2025 to all. May each of you reach your goals...never give up.

First of all, that image of the Viñales Valley is so beautiful and there is nothing more beautiful than that embrace of you in contemplation.
One day you will achieve your dream, I know it and it will be for both of us, joy and sadness of not having you here. A hug for the three of you.🤗🥰❤️
That is the bitter taste of emigration, you know it well. A hug Mamani, thank you for this comment 😘🤗.

How wonderful, lots of support, thank you all 🥰.
You're welcome @mdrguez. Looking forward to you reaching your next target 😅
😃 You'll make it because I've already sent a request to who you know... hahaha....
Let's trust and visualize!!!!😀😁
You are going to make it, I know you will and very soon, something unexpected can happen and you have to be prepared. All the best!🤗
You are the second person to say it will be so...sometimes I doubt, I know I shouldn't, but my lack of confidence betrays me. From now on I take it for granted, I know it will happen when it's supposed to happen. Un abrazo.
For it to happen you have to live as if it were reality, create your reality on the other plane so that it manifests on this one. It already is, you already live where you want to live.
It is just that it is very difficult to banish dialectical materialistic teachings 😉, but I will continue to strive hard 🤗. Gracias siempre.
exactly the same thing has happened to me, it is very difficult and I am still in the process today.
Keep walking toward achieving your goal, right? 🙏
Many years ago we decided to emigrate too, from the country where we were born and grew up. We have been working hard on that for two years (exams, documents etc) and in the end, we ended up in a completely different country than we were preparing ourselves for 😂
I wish you all the determination and strength not to give up on your goals! May your 2025 year be blessed, for you and your family! 🤗
Life sometimes surprises with those unexpected twists and turns....but look at you now. Maybe the universe has a twist in store for us??! 🤔. In the meantime we continue on the road to the goal without giving up.
Que todos tus deseos regresen multiplicados para ti y los tuyos en el año que está por llegar. 🤗
And there is the beauty in those twists ;)
Así mismo...bienvenidos los giros inesperados!!!
It will happen, because with that same strength and determination you must keep trying.
As it hurts to imagine that one day you will stop walking through these lands, you will stop hearing the people with their jargon, the children with their usual shouting, the ugly and the cute cubaneo... this is our beloved but unlivable land.
My best wishes to you in this new year that is approaching ...and above all for your dreams to be fulfilled.....
