Your line "why are settle down and settle so similar in my head?" reminds me very much of Abby.
I think your biggest problem is allowing what you think society expects of you to have so much control over your life (if not controlling what you actually do, it certainly is controlling what you are doing). There is no reason to settle down just because your 25, there is no reason to be overly concerned with fulfilling other people's expectations (this is a dragon I have been fighting for a long time, and feel close to overcoming), there is no reason to not keep doing exactly what your doing, as long as you are happy. People envy you and tell you that you are amazing because up to this point you have been doing what most people cannot - being yourself, following your whims, and living freely. Why give that up for some misplaced sence of expectation?
Life is not about much, but it certainly is about happiness. Its a true measure (or sign if you will) that you are on the right path.
