Settle + down

An insult. A longing.

Settle down yelled at teenagers having fun.

Settle down. To find a home. To build a life. To stay in one place. A home. Not another inevitable move or demoviction.

Settle down. A trap. Selling out.

I long for a place to settle down, a place to build a home.

As much as I would be a wandering minimalist with two shirts and a suitcase I am not. I want a home. I want to carefully and methodically decorate it with things I like that are well-made and beautiful.

A longing indeed.
