The American dream is a fantasy. We are chasing a un-reachable fantasy. We cling to the imaginary version of America because it feels comforting. I help Americans break free of that delusion. They sell American Dream vibes to keep you complacent. I know you don’t want to be a pawn in their game. You just don’t have to play their game, you can leave. 🆘🇺🇸 #TikTokEncyclopediaContest #creatorsearchinsights

There's a lot of talk on this app about how the American dream is dead and for many Americans, that is true. The life that they hoped for that could be in the future has slipped further and further away to the point that they can never reach it. The concept of being able to work a job and afford everything that you need and have some extras too and have a nice life, that's just gone for Americans these days. There's no amount of money that can solve the fact that kids are getting shot in school. There's no amount of safety nets that can protect against being one bill away from bankruptcy. There is no American dream left. But there's a beautiful word in Welsh that describes this concept perfectly. The word "kiraif" mixes homesickness, nostalgia, and longing for a home that maybe never truly existed. And that's the sentiment that I think people are expressing. Whereas saying the American dream is dead is kind of abrasive. The word "kiraif" from the Welsh language is a beautiful embodiment of really what's happening. We are wishing that that life existed. But it doesn't. It no longer does. And maybe it never did. We wanted that life that was sold to us. That idea, the American dream. We did want that. And we fought to the nail to have it. And it wasn't until we have just been hit in the face for decades with the reality that that is not coming back for us, that we finally have given up and say the American dream is dead and the new American dream is to leave. If you're new here, I'm Veronica. And I help Americans reclaim some of that simplicity that they were seeking in their life in America but finding it abroad. I help match your reality and your logistics with visa processes around the world that will take you so that you can get out of that chaos and get back some of that American dream.

Replying to @user4403013943825 Wanting accountability for systemic injustice is not the same thing as celebrating when others suffer. One is about justice. The other is about revenge. My family was interned. I live with the consequences of that generational trauma every day. And I would never look at someone else being oppressed and think "good, now you know how it feels." Because that doesn't undo what happened to my family. It just creates more people carrying the same wound. The idea that suffering builds empathy is a lie we tell ourselves to make sense of senseless pain. Suffering builds trauma. Empathy is a choice you make despite it. You can acknowledge that Black Americans have faced centuries of systemic violence and injustice AND refuse to celebrate when that violence finds new targets. Those positions aren't contradictory. They're both rooted in the belief that human suffering is wrong. Period. Regardless of who's experiencing it. If the system is broken for everyone, the answer isn't to make sure everyone gets equally broken. It's to leave the system entirely. 🆘🇺🇸
True. And here's how you'll know it's happening. They'll start with gentle concern. "Are you sure this is the right time?" "What about your career?" "Have you really thought this through?" When that doesn't work, they'll escalate to guilt. "You're abandoning us." "What about the grandkids?" "We won't be able to see you." Then they'll try fear. "What if something happens to you over there?" "You don't even speak the language." "America is still the safest country in the world." And finally, when none of that stops you, they'll make it personal. "You're being selfish." "You've changed." "You're making a huge mistake." None of this is about your wellbeing. It's about their discomfort with your choice. The test is simple. Do they ask questions to understand your plan? Or do they just list reasons why it won't work? Supportive people ask questions. Threatened people create obstacles. Ready to move forward anyway? Link in bio for exit plan consultations. 🆘🇺🇸
You don't actually need anyone's permission to move abroad. Not your parents. Not your friends. Not your coworkers. Not even your spouse if they're using guilt instead of having real conversations. But you keep waiting for them to be okay with it. You keep trying to make them understand. You keep softening your plans so they feel less threatening. Meanwhile, you're still stuck. Still unhappy. Still living a life designed around everyone else's comfort except your own. Here's what changed for me. I stopped asking for approval and started making announcements. I'm moving in six weeks. Here's the plan. You can support me or you can process your feelings on your own time. But I'm going. The people who loved me figured it out. The people who didn't were never going to be happy for me anyway. Your freedom matters more than their comfort. Act like it. Ready to build your exit plan? Link in bio. 🆘🇺🇸
The reason you keep "researching" instead of applying for a visa is because research feels safe. As long as you're still learning, you don't have to make the scary calls. You don't have to tell your boss. You don't have to face your family's reaction. You don't have to sell your stuff or figure out what to do with your car. Research is comfortable. Execution is nerve wracking. But here's what nobody tells you. The nerves lasts about 6 weeks. Then you're on the other side and you wonder why you waited so long. The fantasy lasted years and got you nowhere. The tension lasts weeks and gets you everything. If you're ready to trade comfortable fantasy for uncomfortable action, I'll help you figure out the logistics. Link in bio for exit plan consultations. 🆘🇺🇸
