Hello dreamyHope. Settling down sounds like following the mindset one used to get fed on t.v. Also buying more stuff is the result of advertisements, neither of which I watch. I take my life one day at a time. I'm 60 now and bought my first house last year. There is a tiny house movement. You don't have to worry about anything, in my opinion, as you seem to have an independent mind. As for what I did when I worked it depends on your job. Generally employers want you to be on time, appropriately dressed, clean, get along with your manager, respect others. You are free to choose the kind of life you want. Every one is nervous their first day of work. I was asked to make coffee and didn't know how! Best of everything for you. You deserve to have a great time.

I agree with mirto, material things don't last or bring happiness, less is best. I believe in a simple life and living below your means for happiness. Trying to keep up with others will never bring contentment, be yourself. I'm sure you'll do well in your new job, take one day at a time and remember a smile goes along way...Hugs.

I agree with mirto. We are actually free to choose our own path... our own life-style. You are so young so all possibilities are open to you. Do you want freedom? Do you want a more complicated life of having a job to pay the bills for stuff to own? I don't think there is a right answer for everyone. It is more about choosing what is right for you. I'm in my 60s & if I could go back to being in my 20s ... I think I would choose a life that is more simple. I would definitely choose a life with less social obligations & doing what other's expect. I have wasted so much time doing that. It is your life & you have to live it your way. Think about what is most important to you. How would you like your life to be 5 years from now? Or 10 or 20 years from now? I wish many good years for you ... whatever is important to you.

Thank you all for your kind reply.
Yea, I will try to take some time and reflect on that. I definitely want a quiet and simple life...but nowadays there is so much pressure. Moreover, it's just about your parents happy. Parents think that their children can be happy only with things, at least I can say that my dad wants me to have everything want to be happy...that is he thinks i'll be happy if I have all the luxuries. I can tell since he is constantly giving me hints and my mum only tells me when you will work, you can do this,you can do that.
I do not blame them, they want their daughter to be happy, any parents want that but in doing so, they are not realizing where my happiness lies. Maybe they are more experienced and know about the future.
In all, it comes to the same point about settling down. But, i think this is a trend set out here. That when we work, we should take such and such responsibilities, I feel scared just mentioning about that because I really do not want this type of life ahead.
I want to be happy and most of all free, the master of my own life. I want to be free from this world and its obligations and most of all be happy and take pride in whatever i am doing.
But this is possible maybe for the far future since I cannot see that coming right now.
Thank you :)
