Diary of the modern hermit - 2/2/2022 *Photo above is not mine. I give credit to Unsplash.* It was on Wednesday that she started to chronicle her life, in the hope of finding something recurrent with how she lives her life. The usual of the ordinary times. Wakes up at not so early in the morning. Instead of continuing with the laundry she told herself to do the first thing in the morning, she instead went straight to her laptop and continued with whatever tasks she has had…
Diary of the modern hermit – 2/3/2022 Let the hermit persist, at least. She was not able to log her activities yesterday even though she has finally planned to chronicle her daily activities. Hence, she is persisting to publish this even if it is already late. So the date of this log is for yesterday-2/3/2022. On Thursday, Feb3,2022, the hermit woke up at not so early again in the morning but earlier than the previous days. She got her two red, small pails then thought of…
Diary of the modern hermit - 2/4to5/2022 She will persist. She will continue with her plans. So yesterday she woke up late, she insisted the kids will stay home. Because she decided to stay home as well. Truly, they stayed home. Done things that are done by people. She was back to her slumber. But at least this chronicling she will continue doing. She ate nonstop even though she wanted to trim he weight down. It will still be achieved. She believes. Last night again, she…
Diary of the modern hermit: February - 6, 2022 The hermit decided to go on a walk. Near the house, a little farther away, down the road, to the grocery store. Sitting down inside the house is making her more obese by the day. She has to burn some fats off and tone some muscles that has stayed taut for a long while now. Her two-pailed exercise had been forgotten for a while. In short, she has not been fetching water as a form of exercise. The two red pails are being used…
Diary of the modern hermit – a long Monday day The pain has etched down my veins. Permanently? Perhaps. Why did I do those foolish things? Why did I not compute my gains or losses? And I threw myself to the wild and they gnawed on my remains. I could still smell the stench of that imaginary place. Where I let myself get rotten in greed and negativities. I hold my head high when I go to places but I lower it when my brain recalls what I went through. All because of my…
There's a reason why positive is positive This is not about testing positive for COVID 19. Let me clear that for you. This is about trying to create a lifestyle that will put a plus sign on your door eapecially financial aspect. As they say, we should only spend what we have earned and cut off on unnecessary spendings. We try to avoid debts as much as possible. For as long as we can avoid debt, we should. Even small amounts if piled up over time could add up to significant…
Clear of Desires Have you ever had a lot of Desires? From one considered taboo which is sex to the most basic like eating food and wanting to be loved? Have you on the other hand desired to be clear of such desires? That all you wanted is a clean life and a righteous one? I wish I could wish. These desires are the ultimate test for us to sin or not to sin. When we desire and lack the virtues such as patience, integrity, honesty and the like, tendency is we are going to…
A solution for my fears I am too afraid to borrow money, literally speaking. I am too afraid to incur too much debt. I am afraid to be put again into the pit of despair, name it all in the negative axis. Because of that, I am doing all I can to restrain myself from spending too much, promising so many to anyone and eating so much junk. I hate to admit but I still struggle a lot to tighten my belt. But I need to. I tell myself, haven't you had enough? Haven't you experienced…
Patiently waiting Let me just play pretend on this article. And in this, I am someone who has long been waiting for romance. Am I in this a hopelessly romantic gal? I want to love, I want to express love. But no one, no one's available for me. I am no bitch, literally speaking. Bitch is a female dog and I would like to mention it for comparison but I am not attacking anyone. This word nowadays is being regarded as a rude word. But really, I am no bitch who can just attract…
Dream is the life I live When I don't dream my life away, tendency is I get nitpicky. When I don't allot time for dreaming, I feel I have not lived my life for the day or night. What would life be without fantasy? What would I be with only reality? Life is mocking me, devoiding me of bliss and happiness. And all I can do is dream my fantasy. What would have become of my days without my resorting to fantasy? What would have my happiness been without those dreams I lived out…
No longer with man I gave up being in love with you, man. I find it hard keeping up with your elusiveness. I struggle dealing with your difficultness. Let me, this time, stick with ideas, with sunsets, with sunrise, with summer, and mornings. Let me stay with inanimate things. Lest you leave me anyway. Let me dwell on ideas, and read books that could stay by my side forever. Let me cherish moments with the sun, that be in the morning, noon, afternoon, or any time on the day.…
Acting dignified Unless you're ready for a lot of 'wars,' the way to go is acting dignified. Nobody cares about your fantasies. No one wants to know about your desires. We are all out to play the game of life and the laws adhere with those of game theory. When you're aged, you must act your age. If you do not want to be labeled inappropriately, you have to really be an old age. If you're a guy, you must act like a guy. Else, all names are ready for you. When you're married,…
You and I, the imaginary us In my imaginary world, you came up to me and whispered how fat I've become. I snatched one of your hands and placed them around my hips. I demanded that you explore the fats and measure how fat I've become. But that was just my imagination. Now I don't feel anything for you save those residues of our moments together before. Decades ago. But I was still in love with those moments and I am writing in memory of those. You have your family now, I…
Life when seen raw It's not your fault. You know nothing at all. Or did you know perhaps but still eluded me? I've been waiting forever for a chance to be with you. But you're far away as if we're not on the same block. I sat there at the seat near the pathway where I could catch a glimpse of you. Sometimes I succeed in my goal, sometimes not. You seem to know something after all. But what now? What am I even thinking? We are 18 years apart. You the younger, I the older. I…
For remembrance I fail to keep track of my emotions. It's just too much journaling consistently about life. But this I must do. To keep feelings described lest one forget all about it. I am still at a loss. Don't know where to place this wrong feelings. If you could describe them that way--wrong. Are they? Or not? If they are, why are they just so blissful? I've never allowed myself some real romance. Why is romance so elusive of me? I dwell in fantasy. But fantasy is just…
It is common sense to be good to others And when we act nice towards others, there's that instant good karma that happens. They become good to us and we won't feel guilty about anything towards them at all. When we are honest and earnest and have good intentions always, when we are in need, we aren't judges with I'll regards from others. It is therefore a common sense to try to be always good towards others. In our speech, in our actions, in all our deeds. My dear brothers…
Make effort to stay on the path of life It is easy to deviate from the line that connects us to life. One wrong move and we're forever away from the source of wisdom. We slip and we might not be able to get back on track. Ever. But life has a lot of seasons. And in the ups and downs we have so many chances to make effort to stay on the line. It quite tempting to stay low or high. But in the end it isn't as good as when we're on the right track. No, it's very distant from…
How do you get someone onto the same page as you? Simple answer, no shortcuts. Live life. Let him/her live his/her life. The moment you rush, you're violating everything. No rush, no haste. Play along the lines, do what you can for your life, for your family, and perhaps, your friends. If you need to pursue someone, then either you ask directly and patiently wait for an answer, or wait for a most convenient timing to see what you can do. Still, you can't force people and…
