I Am A Hermit

I don't act like one but basically I am a hermit or at least I long to be. Its exhausting for me to be in the world sometimes surrounded by people, noise and demands. I can't seem to block a lot of it out. Over the years I've developed coping skills and to the outside world I look content interacting with others but my inner world longs for time alone. Maybe that will be gift I give to myself in the coming years. Time to just be alone.
