I grew up in the country where lots of people are like this. As an adult, I've always lived in cities. I'm some odd amalgamation of the two, perfectly content in not chasing goals but also hyper vigilant in avoiding people that enable poor health decisions. It's quite a zen life, to be honest, but I often come upon people who work both extremes: pushing me toward unhealthy habits or pushing me toward more prestigious paths, assuming depression. I don't know; I'm just happy to be healthy, competent, and well fed.

And, I've always been single, having never been compelled to try. When you don't intend to have children, the calculus changes. I would enjoy having the full human experience, but my outlook prevents me from making that choice.
