When I look at this image, it looks inviting and feels like the living space that I\u2019d like to come home to after a long day. It looks like the closest representation to what my \u201cmind palace\u201d would look like if it existed, well, outside of the confines of my mind.<br><br>A living space where I could throw my bag in a corner, slip into my cow slippers, and just&#8230; exist. One where I wouldn\u2019t have to be productive or exert any extra energy, I would simply be allowed to exist. Too often, productivity is used as a way to assign worth to an individual, to the point where that productivity becomes toxic. We measure our worth and overall value based on what we can pump out and give to the world, choosing to serve everyone and anyone before we focus on ourselves.<br><br>When I think of cozy or just existing, I like listening to city pop. It\u2019s a genre that\u2019s not too busy and just serves as a backdrop for me to enjoy while I continue to romanticize my life and simply exist. Where I can retreat away when life becomes difficult and overwhelming, when I simply just need to be Jo. Not Jo is defined by what I offer to others and pump out, but just Jo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When choosing the image I wanted to use for this assignment, I wanted something that gave off a \u201ccozy vibe.&#8221; I\u2019m also a huge fan of the color green, so choosing this image was a no-brainer.
