Does your family have any secrets?

 

Does your family have any secrets?

No? Well If you don’t have one don’t worry I am about to tell you about how my parents migrated from a rural area to an urban area and they didn’t tell me how this supposedly separated the family until now.

I live in a big city and I really like being here because I have friends and all the things that I need are close to each other, but there is a point in which I get tired of listening to all the noise of cars and trains. 

Yesterday we visit my grandparents on their farm, in which my grandfather told me that the migration of my family divided the family and that if we didn’t move into the city maybe we could be more together and closer to the other members of our family.

We move on when I was really small, I don’t remember too much about rural life, but the only thing that I remember in a clear way is that my grandparents were worried about this move to the city, at first it was difficult to adapt myself to these new things like big roads or all the noise that the city had. 

 

The first place in which we stay in was a tiny space because we couldn’t pay for a bigger apartment or a house, the first year was a mix of emotions that was kind of difficult to process for a kid that was not even aware of what was happening in his life at that time, with the past of years we could recollect enough money to buy our own apartment, that was bigger than the one that we lived on.

                           

The family was separated and my grandparents, aunts and all of my family called us all the time, they couldn’t visit us because they didn’t have the required money to buy an airplane ticket, I miss them so much but at least I can visit them in the vacations.

 

The change that my parents decided to do was, what they consider was the best option for their self-development and for having more opportunities of increasing our economic status. Personally, I don’t blame my parents for anything, because they did what they thought was the best thing for our family, and that migration allowed them to have more income and also allowed me to know more about the world.

 

Migration is not something easy to make, principally because of the consequences that this change can bring to your life, but if it’s something that you need to do, just do it. 

Don’t let anyone stop your development or any kind of advance that you can do in your professional or personal life.
