I seem to be increasingly embracing being a total hermit (hexbear.net)

Due to some events in my life I really don't have any friends or partners, my only real social connection is my sister and her husband who I hang out with infrequently. And for a while this made me really depressed, but now, I'm finding myself enjoying the solitude. I've gotten really good at keeping myself entertained, I take long walks, I read books, I watch movies. Sometimes I'll just lay down and meditate for an hour or two.

If anything I wish I had a bit MORE solitude right now. I'm living with two roommates and have a retail job but wish I could just get a cabin and a remote job.

With a serious lack of third spaces, and the way everything is monetized and subscription based, there's really no reason to go out there. I mostly only leave my house to go be in nature. I have a vacation coming up and we are going somewhere even less populated than the little town of 400 we live in. The cell service is terrible there too. I can't wait
