Permalink: #49 Rest and comfort culture
The end the year is usually the perfect moment to slow down. When still living in the UK, I used to take the whole festive period off and spend days doing nothing in particular. Taking long walks, cooking together, watching films without looking at the clock were a few favourite activities.
Ever since moving back to Italy, because of many different reasons, the festive season feels strange. I believe one needs to feel at home to really enjoy it.
2023 should be the year when we move back to the UK and build ourselves a home again. To slow down and wrap up, I suggest four articles:
- What does it mean to really, truly rest?
- Comfort culture — why do we return to our favorite TV shows and art?
- How Hjärta Smärta challenged the male-dominated status quo in the early 2000s?
- A lighter side of life — picture essay.
