I’d love to hear more about your favorite cosy games! I was all about Animal Crossing and it was so good for chill time, but lately I am so bored and am stuck trying to find a replacement! Stardew Valley is not it!

ooh we could be here for a minute but also you didn't like stardew?😯 that game took my soul for a straight five years haha but perhaps you may prefer fields of mistria? same SV vibe but you might prefer that instead. some other games I'm enjoying are discounty, hello kitty island adventure, cats in cosy rooms, fae farm, littlewood didn't keep my attention but that's also good and there are some others I can't remember rn but maybe I'll do a post about it!

Hooray! And to clarify, Stardew was lovely, but my eyesight couldn’t handle all the text, so it wasn’t as relaxing for me. I am sure the game play is awesome :)

I love this reflection concept. I also just saw the most perfect little woman book as well! I wanted to buy it but instead I brought 3 romance novels. Currently trying to read Jane eyre by charlotte Brontë but i feel so illiterate trying to understand it lol.

It’s a book shop called Schuler Books! It’s kinda like barns and noble where I live. But I love to stalk thrift stores recently for books! Top tier! Also check the book outlet online! They have a beautiful copy of all classics!

I love how there's more joys than sorrows :) I'm going to do this exercise so my problems feel way less than my joys

I really enjoyed reading this. So many of your little joys are joys for me too. Animal crossing was my ultimate cosy game but looking for some new ones. Reading always brings me comfort (I think it’s something to do with escaping reality!

aw love that for us🥰 animal crossing is the blue print honestly, hokko life gets a bit of a bad rep but it's v similar to animal crossing and I enjoyed it for a bit! the animals are a little creepy though I'll give the haters that lol. I think I'll dedicate a post to cosy games :') also yes reading definitely! who doesn't love a bit of eacapism hehe
