Settling

“Up in the air” with George Clooney and that girl in twilight is really a good movie. It opened up my eyes on things especially about relationships. I just realized that when you are all grown up, it seems harder to commit. The dating thing becomes more fun when you are older, definitely, but the committing part seems to be really difficult if not impossible. The more experiences you get, the more anxious you become of commitment, the more reasons you get not to commit. And by the time you get to your senses, it would be sad to realize that you ended up “settling” for what’s there.

Even when it comes to careers, younger ones are mostly ideal. They usually are too eager, too diligent and too creative. But most of them lack experience and cannot even define what their jobs are for. All they see is the chase to being on top of the ladder the fastest. On the other side, the older ones settle back and leave the young “raptors” to go crazy at their chase. The thing is that young “raptors” tend to be easily disappointed and frustrated as they are bound to realize that the reality of life, career and love weren’t even close to what they thought or hoped for.

Like love. Live jobs. Like careers. At some time. At some point. All that is left is what we settle for.
