Destination

"When are you planning to settle down?"

 

"I don't think we really settle down. Isn't it more like moving from one destination to the next? We're always going to fight a change, then embrace a change, then stick with a routine then repeat the cycle."

 

"You don't want to settle down? Have a forever home?"

 

"How could I even consider this when the world around me is ever changing? How can you pick a spot and hope that you always roll a 20 so it would never be disturbed? War, terminations, depression, economic crisis, citizenships and what about nature itself, earthquakes, floods..."

 

"But you can't possible keep moving as you grow older..."

 

"Why not? Maybe I'd like to retire near the beach for a year then move to the country side in the next year, then up in the mountains a year after that."

 

"Or why not just spend your days in your furnished apartment watching all the movies you missed, reading all the books you couldn't in your youth, watching your grandkids play with their grandpa computer games or just brush your cats..."

 

"I could do that too...but I could do plenty. Settling down just seems unlikely when you aren't really sure where you belong."
