I have a related question -- what exactly does it mean to settle down? Is marriage considered settling down? Living with someone? Having some sort of career? Having kids?
Maybe because I don't want to have kids, I've always considered the concept of "settling down" irrelevant to my life. Even when I'm employed as a professional and living with Mr. valkyrie, we go out and party when we feel like it, and we'll continue to do so after we're married.
I guess I'm asking because sometimes I wonder if people think that there comes a golden age in your life when it's time to stop having fun and be serious about everything. The beauty of getting older is that you realize that's not true, and you realize that you should be doing exactly what you want to be doing with your life, no matter what all your friends are doing and no matter what anybody else thinks.
