I had a conversation recently with my former boss for their taxations which I've been helping with for years already. When we were done talking about financial things, he mentioned that he want to invite me and the husband to Canada or should we like, emigrate to the said country (reading between the lines, he'd help). This same person offered as an opportunity to move to the City of Sails many moons ago but we declined.
The husband and I were amused that we spent a bit of time yesterday evening toying with the idea. We did consider to apply some years ago (2017) and even attended two orientations on the immigration processes but the plan just slipped away (more like just died) after a some time.
Whilst the idea is quite welcoming to the Farmboy, there is that voice within me saying otherwise. Fear of change perhaps? I wouldn't even try to deny it. Guess I'm so used to life here that the thought of moving to another place many miles away and sort of starting anew kind of frightens me.
"Where's your sense of adventure?" my twin argued. The voice of a cousin even echoed at the back of my head, "why don't you two just do things beyond the norm since you have nothing to worry about?"
Yeah, right! Why don't we, noh?
Hmmm... sounds easy, huh!
Anyway, we realized that somehow, we have built and kept a beautiful relationship that goes beyond just work-related things. Such friendship is quite rare and we are truly grateful for it.
Meanwhile, I'm just going to live the way I know how and hope that one day when the more adventurous soul awakens, the offer still stands. But no matter what, the beautiful friendship remains and as always, we'd keep nurturing it.
