Hermit Day
Hermit Day is today. It's a quiet day to spend
quietly in seclusion, all by yourself. For some people, being a
recluse is a way of life. They spend everyday by themselves, in peaceful
seclusion. For whatever reason, Hermits prefer living away from the crowds and
the sea of humanity. For many of us who lead an increasingly busy lifestyle,
the idea of being a "Hermit for a Day" is very tempting. The thought
of getting away from it all, even if for just one day, is very appealing.

Winona Ryder (1971, Winona,
Minnesota, USA) First earned a loyal following for giving unusual depth and
inner life to teen characters in films like "Heathers" (1989) and
"Edward Scissorhands" (1990). Her enormous, expressive brown eyes and
a radiance that reminded early champion Tim Burton of the "timeless old
movie stars" went on to become a favorite element in period dramas like
"Bram Stoker's Dracula" (1992), "The Age of Innocence"
(1994) and "The Crucible."
October 29 is Hermit Day. There are some people who just prefer to stay inside. While many times they do come out and socialize, they prefer being inside. They are probably just inside because they are introverts and being around big crowds makes them tired. However, these people can be mistaken as hermits. Then, there are people who prefer to never come out of where they live. They would rather be hermits.
ReplyDeleteHermit Day is a day that is meant to just celebrate the hermit lifestyle for one day. For hermits, they can relax on this day knowing that their lifestyle is accepted. For introverts, this holiday gives them the alone time that they need but may not always get. For extroverts, this holiday gives alone time that probably is needed even if they do not realize how much the alone time is needed.
