Like any other Iranian, I've been considering immigrating from Iran for many years now. My parents were never going to move as they always thought/and still think that it's over for them and that they can't start a new life in a whole new environment but they have always wanted their children to leave the country as soon as possible as the situation has never ever seemed promising and it has gotten far worse since Ahmadinejad. The gap between the regime's motives and purposes and those of people has become bigger, we are in a worse financial, social and cultural state now compared to 5-6 years ago, sanctions imposed on Iran are making things even worse, unemployment rate is at its highest in recent years, and above all, there's a direct correlation between our future and the Western countries' (mainly the US') policies. Our government's hasty, irrational and stupid antics have made us become a place which no one will shed a tear over if the US start an attack on us.
In no other period after the Islamic revolution, Iranians have immigrated as much as they do now, to the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, Malaysia, etc. It's somehow easier now to reunite with friends in Europe/North America than in Iran. My brother and sister are leaving Iran in (at most) two years' time.
But what will eventually happen if everyone who thinks there is something going wrong in the country leaves? What if all those who can change something leave? I want to talk to you, to those who are immigrants, those who have experienced immigration, those who can relate to my concerns and those who find them absurd.
Only remember that bars and boys don't appeal to me that much
I mean unlike many other Iranians (among which are many of my friends) I'm not gonna leave only to get rid of hijab or similar stuff the government forces people to/not to do against their will. I want to live in a country where I'm given the right to have a voice but thing is that I want to have it here, in Iran. It won't mean to me that much as an immigrant.
