Hopeful Hygge

So I recently started learning a little more about this hygge idea. I had heard of the word when Red Heart yarn introduced a new line with that name. It sounded like a nice idea, but not really great yarn, so I didn’t pay much attention. Anyway, I recently saw a youtube video that came recommended, and I thought, what the hey. Which led me to internet searches. I don’t know; it just seems to strike a chord with me. Kondo made the impression that you just keep having to get rid of more and more stuff, and then your surroundings will eventually be happier. By default, what is left, will make you feel happy, cozy, and content. Yeah, so far not really working. Not even a gentle slope towards that end. I do still need to get rid of stuff. And I’m not saying this is an excuse to get more stuff. But I am all for having more cozy and comfy in my corner. I’ve been tempted to get things like fake flickering light bulbs for quite a while. I shouldn’t say this justifies going out and getting a bunch, but at least it makes me feel like my longing sort of has a place. Even if I’m crazy, it’s nice to not be the only one. In a way, it makes a tiny bit of sense. Maybe I could look into some of these other ideas.
