The First Post

This is my new blog, I have never blogged before. In fact, once upon a time I enjoyed expressing myself through writing. When I was young, I loved reading books and writing fantasy stories. Unfortunately the education system has knocked a lot of the passion out of it for me.
More recently I have been thinking about writing some kind of autobiography, but my girlfriend gave me the idea of writing a blog. I think this is a better way of getting my thoughts and ideas out there, whilst at the same time telling my story.

So, that will be my first post, an introduction to The Troubled Hermit.
To give you some idea of who I am, I'll give you the basics:
I am 24 years old. I am white British, I was born in, and have lived in London UK all my life. So I consider myself a Londoner, which is cool because I have all the cultural experiences of growing up in South East London. 
My parents are both teachers by profession, so naturally I am quite intellectual. I also come from a pretty creative background. I love music, dance, art, film, video games.

So I'll leave it there for now, but I hope to fill this blog with STUFF, lots of stuff. 
Good stuff, especially music. Soon.


Peace.
