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

(Anonymous) 2016-08-21 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, for sure. Like, I do want to settle down. It's not that I have wanderlust or anything like that - it's not like I'd have any massive regrets. I'm pretty comfortable with my career path, don't have any need to have grand adventures, anything like that. If I never live in another country, that's fine.

The problem with settling down is that I'm becoming more and more certain that the city that I live in now (which is also where I grew up) is just not the place that I want to live the rest of my life. For some different reasons. It's a really expensive place to live and I really want to own a house at some point. I really don't like the weather - I mean, it's great weather, it's just not necessarily the weather that I feel the best about - or the physical environs, necessarily. It's a large city and I think I might be suited to somewhere a little smaller and more sedate. And the culture just feels a little alienating a lot of the time.

So I would like to move to a different area. But the problem is, one, I feel like I need to spend a few more years working on my career and resume here before I move. So I can't do it right away. And, two, I obviously have family and friends here and it'd be really tough to move away from all that, to a place that would be unfamiliar and strange. And it's really easy to see myself just staying here because it's the easiest thing even though it's not necessarily want to settle down.

So, yeah, basically, what I'm saying is, I totally get the two-sidedness you're talking about.
