I've a truly never thought about how "slow life" is linked to a lot of concepts that many people don't have easy access to/ can't afford. Like the *incredibly expensive* farmers market, the country escape. It's something that I try to embrace and I've wondered why something that should cause calm and ease has caused me stress before.
Love this - I feel like there's a fear online around dullness, mundanity, slowness. Some people resist that, because we're exposed to everyone's "highlights reel" of their lives online, constantly, so it feels like a dull life isn't "normal." But it is
One of the things that gives me most joy is taking a little walk for a little non-urgent purpose. Walk down to the community fruit and vege stand to drop off excess pumpkins, and bring back a few oranges? Yum. Walk into town to return a library book and get a menu from a new restaurant? ✅ great times
i really loved this piece… i am struggling to find bits of slow life in nyc since it’s so fast here, but i feel like it is such a healthy state of mind

I've been thinking " dull" is a better fit for me than "slow life" for this exact reason. I can't afford THAT slow life. It does sound nice.
