“I'm happier than a worm,” says the Cuban TikToker @anita.cubanita64 in a viral video where she showcases how her new home in Cuba is coming along. “Right now, I can't fit inside my body,” she asserts while revealing details of the kitchen decorated with recycled papers and butterflies attached with “pegolín.”
"I started making a coffee to see if I felt fulfilled," she says, showing what she calls her "favorite little spot," where she also placed scented candles: "Now, since I am an influencer, I want to have my little candles and things."
"This is crazy, but anyway my love, there we were battling with this unbearable heat," he recounts. "Fortunately, there was still electricity," he adds. "Here, if you looked one way, everything was scattered, and if you looked the other way, everything was on the ground."
Regarding her new appliance, she expressed: “My washing machine… what can I say about the immense happiness I feel.” She also shared: “These didn’t stick and fell 68 times,” referring to the decorative butterflies. “I’ve moved about five times already; I can’t handle another move,” she said.
The video has sparked hundreds of reactions. Among the most notable comments are phrases like: “Enjoy it to the fullest, you deserve it,” “Congratulations on your achievement,” “What a great joy,” or “You made me cry with emotion.” Others pointed out: “It’s not your little house, it’s your home. We need to manifest big.”
From various countries, followers asked: "Is it bought or rented?", "Can you buy a house in Cuba?". In previous posts, Anita had explained: "You pay, you buy, and it’s your property." She also said, "The credit is not just mine, but to all of you, for every detail, for every comment."
Days ago, the young woman shared: “I know it's not much, but to me, it represents a sacrifice of a lot of time, and the future of my baby.” This testimony is part of the process she has documented since she announced her house purchase on TikTok, expressing gratitude for the support received on social media and detailing each step of the home's transformation.
In another recent video, she showcased the painting, cleaning, and preparation process for moving, also generating a wave of support in the comments. “Today was a super important day because today was the day to finish painting”, she said at that time.
The story of Anita coincides with that of other young Cuban women who have also managed to purchase homes on the island thanks to their earnings generated through social media. In another recent case, the influencer @caliope128 bought a home in Villa Clara with the income earned on TikTok.
"Let me know what you thought of this little place," Anita asked at the end of the video. Her story continues to generate empathy and support from multiple corners of the world.
