As I decided to put an end to my life as a dancer back in Arizona, I
found myself having to compare Phoenix with Miami in other to determinate where
to live. I decided that my life needed a change and moving to a different city
could be beneficial. Even though Phoenix is a quite city where I could focus on
school, most of friends had left and I found myself dealing with the unwanted
outcome from my injury and a lack of those people that I consider like
family. I also feel that I never made a good connection with the city in
the first place which made me feel like a stranger.
Miami on the other side had more to do with my Latino roots. A lot of
friends of mine were already living there and for the first time in my life I
didn't feel as melancholic from being away if my home land. It was also more
convenient because of its proximity to Cuba and how easier it is to go visit my
mother every time I have a chance. I finally decided to give myself the chance
of moving to Miami. I am happy I did, it feels more like home here and even
though no one could ever fill the emptiness that having no family living in the
US causes me I consider myself lucky of being surrounded by people that love me
and I consider my new family.
