"Now I feel even more depressed": When the Cuban Amazon delivery guy gives you advice

A Cuban in the U.S. shares her experience with an Amazon delivery driver who offers her advice, reflecting the challenges and emotions of Latinos living abroad.


A Cuban Amazon delivery driver has taken TikTok by storm with a video where, with a touch of humor and a lot of sincerity, he shares an unexpected reflection on the challenges of daily life.

In the video posted by the user @anthony_vila_, the young man appears in his work uniform and delivers a direct message to the audience:

"If you woke up to a good day today, remember that you have to pay the rent, the car, the insurance, the phone, the water, the internet, the gas, etc. If I'm not happy, you won't be either."

The clip, which blends irony with a touch of resignation, quickly went viral, sparking a flood of comments from people who felt a sense of identification.

"I wanted to clear my mind, but now I feel even more depressed," wrote a follower with a laugh. Another user commented, "Here I am waiting for the bills, and this video pops up."

The video reflects a reality shared by many: the responsibilities and expenses that weigh on the shoulders of workers, especially in times of economic uncertainty.

However, the authenticity of the delivery person and their relaxed way of expressing these concerns have allowed their message to be received with humor and empathy.

Although its tone is light, the post has created a space for other users to share their own experiences and reflect on the importance of finding moments of happiness, even amidst daily responsibilities.
