my cuz's brand spanking new bundle of joy has arrived.
and i just realised that my buddy's number 2 is here too. i left sg when they were at number 1.
i feel happy for them... a pang of envy mixed with jealousy. BUT i still want to congratulate them from the bottom of my heart.
and i wonder what settling down means. does it literally mean to 'settle'? - as in to accept your partner for whoever they might be? i'm not suggesting that u pick one and u simply settle, but more like after careful selection, and after u've made ur choice, decided, u settle. sure there are heaps of better ones out there, but u settle for the one u've decided.
it's a decision, or is it not?

"settle down" being an idiom to mean "marriage, start a family etc" seems relevant in the past.
settling down can also mean to decide that marriage and baby-making is not the thing for a person, right?
i think it's quite a radical idea to term the decision to 'not marry and have kids' as settling down. imagine the frowns on ur elders'.
maybe we need to term it 'enlightened'?
