Constraints on wanting to be a hermit

For years, this poor soul has thought of wanting to isolate. To travel from place to place. Unseen. Invisible from the crowd. While silently contemplating about the reasons of living life.

It has been quite sometime already. Yet wanting this thing is not as simple as getting on one's feet and going as it should be.

There are constraints.

For one, you need to have fund. Money or goods and the like. Being a hermit nowadays is a little different from before. If you think about it.

Perhaps, there are just people like us who wanted a quite life. Away from the noisy produce of the social life.

But no matter how we want it to happen as soon as we want it, we have to have security after all. Not just safety but having enough to go on with life.

Another is having a family. And a mother at that. How will I live as a hermit if I have kids to raise? And a husband to consider?

Maybe, it is still possible but it would be mentally draining to think of how to explain our reasons for being a hermit.

Further we have biological desires. True that we can just set our lives to abstinence. But there are instances when desires cannot be suppressed.

The most constraining reason though is having children.

For now, let us just deactivate our social media accounts and limit interactions with others. Only when necessary.

When we are older, maybe we will be able to live as we always wanted...
