Only not yet but sometime in the future, most probably after my parents have passed.
Silly pop culture reference to take inspiration from but my living condition now is a lot sillier, and not even in a dark humored way like in the movies. Anything’s an improvement really. More solemn inspiration, I read somewhere about early christian monastics from 2nd or 3rd century who went so crazy for Jesus as to wander off into the desert and remain there as way of taming the flesh before seeing the light.
While I don’t mind meeting Jesus in the desert, taming the flesh isn’t a concern. I’m rather fond of flesh tbh. My simple reason is to be able to log out on my own terms, in secret and with no drama around it.

Nice post. I do like the picture.
Thanks. The pic is from a Jim Carrey movie 🙂 His hermit character appealed to me as a feasible stand-in for suicide. Kind of a middle path till the right time comes.
