Cottagecore is so Good. It makes me want to clean my house and wake up early and watch the sunset and eat vegetables and take long, long walks and create things with my hands. It makes me want to live, and be pure and good and exist, in simple, mundane way, and with love.
A thing I really like about the cottagecore/farmcore/grandmacore community, is the way simple things are romanticized. It’s a break from a culture centered around consuming, and inspires slow living and appreciation for your natural surroundings and simple joys.
To find meaning and happines in tending to your tomatoes, making jam from your grandmother’s recipe, or taking a nap in the sun is such a beautiful thing to me. There is such a feeling of luxury to be able to share a homemade cake with the people you care about, or to be able to give away some of your carrots to your neighbour, it really makes a little feel like a lot!
