The Stories

I know that we have to go on trying - try, try and try again. Keep on marching forward. There are scars from my past that I could not avoid bringing with me, but I won’t let them entrap me. Fear must remain in the past.

So now telling my story helps me make peace with it. And I hope it can help someone else who is going through the same thing. Life does change.

We have no plans to leave Portugal. I can’t imagine us living anywhere else. This country gave me an opportunity when I was lost. I was made welcome. In countries like mine, it’s not so easy to have this luck. So now I want to make the best of this safe place.

I’ve never found more welcoming people than here. Since my arrival, every experience has been positive. That’s the reason I can hope for a better future. Maybe one day me and my family can be together – I don’t know when, but one day.

Now when I look back I see that the things that happened to me taught me that I cannot give up on myself. I mustn’t stop looking for solutions when a problem comes up - if one thing doesn’t work, try another. Today, three years later, I don't know what life holds, but we have everything to look forward to.

And I want to try it. I could work as a forklift truck driver, cleaning up garbage, or tending gardens. As long as we can be together as a family, I'll be fine.
