Stop rushing 🐌

In a hyper-fast world, 'Slow Living' is an act of rebellion. It values quality over quantity, doing things deliberately rather than automatically.

Aesthetics like 'Cottagecore' (romanticizing rural life, baking bread) and concepts like 'Hygge' (Danish coziness) exploded online.

It is about 'Mindfulness'—being present. Cooking from scratch, mending clothes, reading books. It rejects 'Hustle Culture' (working 24/7). Critics say it is a privilege for those who can afford to slow down.
