I keep fantasising about living in total solitude in a forest

I have a persistent fantasy of being tucked up in a house in a forest, completely isolated, with no interruptions or responsibilities.

I imagine days filled with comfort and peace: writing, contemplation, reading, time in nature and cooking.

Philippa replies: Could this feeling of something not being right stem from running away rather than moving towards what's next?.

Recommended reading: Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times by Katherine May and an early book of mine feels significant here too: How To Stay Sane.
