The older I get, the more the introverted hermit wants to take over and I don’t want to deal with people. I deal with people all day at work, and outside of that I am truly happy being with myself. In the quiet, no obligations, free to curl up with my book and my thoughts and not having to be “on” to interact with others.

My current home, more than any others I’ve lived in, is the closest to being my perfect little escape. I have been slowly moving to a path of minimal-ish. I don’t need a lot, but as much as I love clean lines and open space, I also love a good cozy nook. A soft pile of blankets and pillows. Shelves full of books that make it feel enclosed and warm. Plants (even if most of them are fake) to give a look of life. Lots of candles and warm scents.

I swear, I think I would make an excellent omega in an omegaverse novel. The whole nesting thing is totally my vibe these days. Omegaverse crossed with the concept of Hygge. I wonder if the first omegaverse writer was in any way Scandinavian? The vibes match very well.

I spent most of the last two weekends rearranging things yet again at home. Playing up the warm and cozy feeling. Having more soft lighting rather than the overheads has helped bring light, but also a bit of warmth. And all the squishes and blankets make me want to snuggle up, even though it is still hot around here. I was able to bring Nest Bed back. I swear my sleep is so much better in Nest Bed. I’m surrounded by soft and comfy. This is what feels like home, at least they physical version of it.
