In a video that has gone viral on the TikTok platform, the user @jorge_drake1992, a young Cuban living in Texas, offers a reflection on life in his neighborhood, highlighting the lack of interaction among neighbors and the feeling of desolation that, according to him, characterizes his community.
As he walks through the streets of his neighborhood, the young man comments: "The empty neighborhoods look like ghost towns," pointing out that the limited contact between the residents of the area is due to cultural differences. "Since they come from different cultures, they hardly mix," he says, suggesting that this diversity prevents people from getting to know each other.
Despite this observation, the tiktoker expresses that he is happy and adapted to his lifestyle in Texas, stating that, although some people struggle to get used to that social dynamic, he has found happiness in his environment. "There are people who don't like living that way, there are people who can't adapt," he comments, making it clear that, in his case, life in his "ghost town" is not a problem.
"Pure sun, pure heat, and pure desolation," "If you are a person who enjoys parties and celebrations and you are used to seeing people on the street and you come to live in Texas, with pain in my soul I tell you this is what you are going to find here," the Cuban added.
The video has generated multiple reactions among TikTok users, some of whom agree with the young man's perspective on the lack of interaction in neighborhoods in the United States, while others express different viewpoints on life in communities with less social contact.
