This Is Why I Categorically Do Not Believe In Settling
I do not believe in settling. It might be a matter of semantics, but hear me out.
To settle or not to settle that is the question???
My answer — I categorically do not believe in settling.
Of course, settling means different things to different people. To some it means marrying a person who doesn’t make your heart go pitter patter, someone who you don’t feel that spark or oomph for, but you marry them anyway for all their other dazzling qualities like kindness, sensibility, and loyalty. You know that the spark would eventually fizzle anyway.
For others, it means settling down with the person you love even though they snore, or they’re messy, or they have bad breath sometimes. You accept that the perfect man or perfect woman doesn’t exist, and everyone has morning breath, goes to the toilet, and can get on your last nerve!
And for some people…settling means settling down with a person you don’t love, like, or even respect.
These three things are not settling —
Having realistic expectations. Or widening the parameter for who you are willing to give a chance. How do you know if you won’t take a chance???
