Challenges: what fuels human ambition to do more, to crave for better, to climb another mountain (even though when I do it I feel vertigos and get scared I may have gone too high, instead of find something higher).
Challenges are what I’m dealing with
now, that make my life less relaxed but maybe more interesting:
1) immigration (‘cos hey, I know I
got a work permit, but it’s not over yet until I’ll put my hands on the pr
card, thus soon it will come the time to research again the government website
and find the best way to make it)
2) work (always busy, one million
things to do in a start-up and my intentions to learn new things continuously postponed
to when I’ll get some more time)
3) social life (improving, thanks to
my colleagues, but I should stop thinking of a rainy Saturday night as an
excuse to stay in)
4) ...
Challenges are also what keep me
busy now, at the point I barely think in 2 weeks-time I’ll be back home on
holidays. They will be my first holidays since last June (yep, that’s the
side-effect of living in Canada) but somehow I don’t feel excited and impatient
as I was last year.
I’m not saying I’m not happy to see
my family, but I feel as if it was a part of routine process, a yearly task to
deal with.
That makes me aware that my country
is going farther and farther from my thoughts and that I have been loosening my
links to Italy much more in this 2 years in Canada than in 5 years in Ireland.
After all, let’s be honest: if that
famous 24th April 2012 I had left Canada (it was my original
deadline in case of failure to get a job) now I would be unemployed in Italy or
not in my home country at all.
Definitely too early to say Canada
is a choice for life but at the moment I have tasks to accomplish here.
