Settling
"When are you planning on settling down?"
It's a very popular question with me. Apparently, people who know me seem anxious to know this, and get nervous with my lack of preoccupation with the matter, my vague answers.
The word 'settle' already sounds to me like getting lazy, giving up on exciting things, accepting something considered to be less than satisfactory. The word itself is the complete antagonism of myself, of who I am.
Maybe someday, when I'm very tired, I will settle down.
Until then you will find me when you least expect me in the place you least expect to.
