I always wanted to maintain contacts with home. At the beginning I felt a little bit afraid of explaining my real situation in the new country to my family and my friends because I was facing some difficulties and I didn’t want to disappoint them. Then I realised that it was better to explain the truth even if it may not be what they expected. Being sincere with the people that stayed in my land was also important to orient and inform others who, like me, were planning to leave; and of course, being sincere with myself was important too in order to take control of my life.
