This sketch is a sample of my lifestyle. I’m what they call “the modern day hermit”. I love to live a reclusive life. I value my solitude. In my home, it is where I’m in peace with myself. I don’t see it as a problem, my friends and family are welcome to visit me at my place. I also go out sometimes usually to buy foods and other things I need. But I’m very happy with online shopping. I can also do grocery shopping online nowadays. I’m very happy with me being me, a modern day hermit… I don’t have problems with being outside it’s just, it’s the way I am. In this topic, I will discuss how I live the modern day hermit lifestyle.

My name is Rhenea and I live in the Philippines. I don’t know much people who have the as same lifestyle as I have right now, but it’s ok. I don’t need much company. I can sustain myself. I’m very independent. I work at home, so I don’t have to go outside and endure the traffic here in the Philippines. I’m a hermit since birth, or trained to be a hermit I guess? I’m not allowed to go outside that much back when I was a kid. But it is good because I’m able to focus on the things I love!

I tried to be an extrovert, I really gave a lot of effort to be one. But it is really not my thing. I do not want to be forced into living a life that I do not love. I can’t be happy living a life that others provide for me. I want to choose the right path for myself. Being the modern day hermit feels right for me, It feels right to follow my heart.

Sometimes there are people like me who just didn’t follow the norm, or what the society expects them to become. Every people are different from each other. Some has the calling to be a hermit and they are rewarded by God with joy and fulfillment in their calling.
