Lien BM, a young Cuban content creator on TikTok (@lien.bm), shared an emotional video reflecting on her experience after three years of living in the United States. In the clip, which has garnered over 1,370 likes at the time of this writing, Lien sent a motivational message to her followers, encouraging them to focus on the positive and not to give up on their path to success, especially after emigrating to a new country.

With an inspiring attitude, she commented, "Look, there may be people who have achieved more than you in less time, and there may be people who have achieved less in more time, but don't compare yourself to others' clocks." She also emphasized the importance of not falling into bad habits and appreciating the opportunities life offers, despite the challenges: "What is easy today can complicate your life tomorrow, and when it does, you will lose more years trying to fix that."

The TikToker took the opportunity to thank her community, which had grown to over 4,000 people, and emphasized that her content aims to convey good vibes and blessings. She also reminded her followers of the importance of valuing each day as a new opportunity to move forward: "We are alive, and that's what matters. With sacrifice and effort, and by pursuing what you love, anything is achievable."

The reactions from her followers were swift, with a flood of comments filled with gratitude and reflections on their own experiences. One user commented, "Thank you for the advice, many need it," while another wrote, "That's the attitude, without fear. You are and only you, much success." Many of the comments reflected the positive impact Lien's message had on her community, like one user who expressed, "That's the reality of life. Today marks my 2 years. Greetings and blessings."

Personal stories also filled the comment section, where some shared how long they had been in the United States and how they had faced the migration process. "I have been here for 2 years, and I am grateful for everything I have achieved and everything that is in store for me. A thousand blessings," mentioned one follower. Another user, for her part, commented, "My daughter and I have been here for 4 months, we reunited with my son after 2 years, we are grateful and learning from this new stage."

Other users took the opportunity to share their challenges and thank the creator for her motivating words. "I have been here for two years and am still moving forward," expressed one person, while another recounted, "I have only been here for 11 months, grateful to God for being here, but it has been hard."

Lien BM's positivity not only impacted those who had been in the country for a short time but also those with more experience, like a user who had been in the United States for 18 years and shared a piece of advice: "If you could share one piece of advice to help us in this country, what would it be? Many blessings to you and your family."

Lien BM concluded her message by encouraging her community to keep moving forward and not to give up, reminding them of the sacrifices they made to get where they are. As she said in her video, "Keep going and don't give up, because remember all that you went through to get to this country."
