ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Settling

Hello there! Settling is when you decide to stay in one place and make it your home. Just like when you play house and pick a spot to be your "home", people do that in real life too.

When you grow up, you might decide to settle in one place after you finish school. Maybe you'll find a job somewhere and make a home there. Settling can also happen when you find someone you love and decide to live together in one place. You might even settle down and start your own family someday!

When people settle, they may buy or rent a house or apartment to live in. They'll also set up their things, like their bed, toys or possessions, and make it comfortable and their own home.

So settling is when someone decides to stay in one place and make it their home by getting a place to live, setting up their things, and living there for a long time. It's kind of like creating a new and permanent home!
