On a lark, a few days ago I saw that 2 places near my hometown were looking for HR Generalists so I applied. I honestly didn’t expect it to go anywhere, but amazingly, one of them emailed me today, asking if they could do a phone interview with me next week, fully aware that I live about 1000 miles away.
I’m not quite sure how to respond to this at present. One part of me is extremely excited - I would love to be closer to family and friends again - and the other part of me is extremely intimidated. This would mean some massive changes and planning. It is a huge undertaking. Selling the house here, selling vehicles, most of our belongings, moving a thousand miles away with 2 horses and 2 cats…and probably having to be separated from DH for months, since he would have to wait until he was authorized by the gov’t to come over.
But I can’t stop thinking about how nice it would be to have “Magpie” nearby and see if being around horses would help unlock her from her autism…and to be able to go for rides with my BFF again would be so incredibly therapeutic. Living in the States again would definitely have its drawbacks - I just don’t know where that country is going anymore, politically or as a society. But family/friend ties still supersede the national issues and home is calling. Perhaps even more now that my dad has sold the childhood home and moved into an assisted living facility.
I want my place in the world again. And with work being what it is these days, I don’t feel any ties there, for certain. I’ve resigned myself for now to just enjoy the dream and see what Monday’s interview brings. If it’s meant to be, then I’ll have to have faith that this will all work out in the end.
