Amidst life's changes and challenges, the decision to emigrate may arise. For some, it is a moment of joy and hope, as they seek a new horizon that presents fresh opportunities to fulfill their long-held dreams. However, for millions of people worldwide, emigrating presents a challenge. For many, emigration is not a choice made for pleasure, but rather out of necessity. It is a means to protect and even save one's own life. Despite cruel disadvantages and misfortunes, entire families, single children, young people, and adults risk dangerous migration routes. They do so because it is preferable to emigrate than to remain in a place where hunger, poverty, cold, mutilations, and violence are prevalent. One loses more by staying than by setting out on the road to the unknown and uncertain. Finding a dignified life is a fundamental right for everyone. In the pursuit of this goal, some may face obstacles and their journey will serve as a guide for those who follow. A reflection to understand that we are all migrants and that we all deserve a better life.
