Re: "Settle down" vs "not tied down"

[herpymcderp]

Sure, I won't lie. This was a bit of an issue for me.

There's something to be said about the security and comfort involved in settling down, and the immediacy of the rewards that come with it: your family takes notice, it's socially favourable, you might even reap monetary benefits if you happen to get married and people give you things. Plus there's the pleasant fantasy that once you've settled down and found something the rest of your life will just fall into a happy routine forever. It's hard to not want that on some level, even if you're the sort of person who never intends to get married.

If you start something new or even starting over, you're going to be waiting a long time for that same sense of security. It's risky, even if it's exciting. There's the possibility of failure, and the possibility that you might even miss out on settling (if other people are to be believed).

It was important to me to strike a balance between the two before moving away so I could go off without lingering doubts or worries. I'm not sure how it would work for you, OP, but if you can manage it I'd recommend trying to find that middle ground.
