Am I settling for something?

2012:
Not really, but I might as well settle for simple, uneventful life.

2013:
I'm settling for spending most of my free time with kids and cherish every moment with them. The time spent with them is very precious to me.

2018:
I'm settling for at least a little bit of control over my life. It's been much better than ever before. I take time to hang out with kids, go hiking on my off days, or actually take a day off or not volunteer to work to hike or to attend special events. It's about time that I do things that gives me joy rather than always focus on working constantly.
