I don't know why we've decided we are settling down already?
I know Danny feels like he has been away from home for too long, and I'd hate to think that I will be pulling him away from home...
But at the same time.. we have the rest of our lives to "grow old and raise a family"
But right now-- at 25 years old, with no children, no real debt, and 2 1/2 educations between the two of us.. why aren't we out there exploring the world?
I want to live on a tropical island, I want to visit the glaciers of Alaska, I want to live out of a suite case for a year- or back pack thru Ireland for a few mths..
I think people get comfortable and want to settle down, naturally.. and "plant some roots"
But as I was driving to church it dawned on me... That's NEVER been what I wanted...
I want to be a nomad.. I want to travel, rest, pick up and move again!
I don't want all this stuff right now... We don't need it all right now..
So here's my idea.. We take a storage container- pack up ALL our stuff, and head out for a few years.. :o)
Just gotta make sure the husband is on board!
But we'll see----
You and I are very similar. I've never been the one to want to settle either. I've wanted to see the world, never imagined I'd have a house or be rooted anywhere in particular.
ReplyDeletePart of me still desires to do that, don't get me wrong. I miss going to exotic places, I miss seeing and divulging in new cultures. I did all of that before I had a child. I wasn't ready to give it up, nor am I ready now.
BUT... settling isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I mean, my life isn't over by any means. I can still do what I want to do, I just have to have a little bit more patience than normal. I can't just up and go like I could before, but, as time goes on I get more and more okay with it.
I have no real advice. Other than I feel you... and don't think that settling means you can never do anything again :)
Well then in the end- you are a bigger person then I :o) For I have yet to learn of real patience! lol
