A Cuban living in the United States has shared an inspiring and straightforward message aimed at newcomers grappling with the challenges of adapting to life in a new country.

"What you're feeling has been felt by everyone who's been here for years," he reassured, urging his audience not to lose hope.
Jaime acknowledged the difficulties present in America today but maintained that he still considers it "the best country in the world." With a friendly tone, he encouraged his followers not to give up, reminding them that if they could endure daily challenges in Cuba, they could certainly overcome obstacles in the U.S. "How can you give up here?" he asked, drawing a parallel between the ongoing struggles on the island and the challenges they now confront on the other side of the ocean. His advice was simple yet profound: adapt to the country's lifestyle and seize the opportunities available.

The message struck a chord with many of his followers, who responded with heartfelt comments. "Thank you for existing, I really needed to watch the whole video," one user expressed, clearly moved. Another follower shared his journey: "Thanks, brother, I'm not down, but starting over is hard; I've been here for six months, got my residency, came through reunification, living in North Carolina, hugs." Another comment highlighted the importance of Jaime's words for those in similar situations: "Thank you so much for your words, you have no idea how much I needed to hear this, I'm in that process."

Several people agreed that, although beginnings are tough, "this country has many good things."
