Because books.
And still, when I get together with extended family over the holidays, the very sweet and concerned relatives never hesitate to ask me when I am going to "finally settle down".
That's what I meant about the grass is always greener, though. I "settled down" a long time ago, but I still questions and funny, semi-pitying looks when I say I've never traveled abroad or finished college and we don't own a house. It always goes both ways.

An aerie is a bird's nest in a high place.

Oh definitely. But I wonder, do people often ask you when you're going to travel so that you can finally fulfill some sort of destiny (the way people ask me when I am going to "land a husband")? It's more the societal stigma that gets to me. I mean, I'd like to have a partner for sure, but on top of that I deal with all of the other messaging from society about coupledom and marriage.

Maybe not with travel, but there's definitely a stigma about not finishing college. Or maybe it's just in my head, and I see it in others.

No, you're right. There're so many stigmas to be had - enough to go around!

Sounds like a real estate agent's way of selling a place that's way too drafty and full of bird shit.

Yikes!
Oddly enough, my family has always been really really good about not badgering me about marriage. Nobody gives me a hard time. Thank fuck.
