Welcome to My Cozy Escape!
My name is Darina, and I am a 32-year-old blogger from Europe who is sick and tired of the excessive use of social media, AI and digital technologies.
I created this site for everyone who:
- spends hours on Instagram or TikTok and wants to change it
- tried digital detox but ended up returning to the same old disturbing habit of doomscrolling
- misses the peace from the times when social media and the internet in general weren’t a place to live, but a place to visit
- wants to forget what a rotten brain feels like
- misses his/hers hobbies (especially reading books!) but struggles to get back to them
- wants to romanticize their life
- yearns for a simple life full of coziness, beauty, absorbing books and good company.
There is no escaping the digital world of the 21st century unless you live in a cave or in some kind of native tribe. And since you are reading this, I assume you don’t.
I am a firm believer in the golden middle path. I don’t take things to extremes. I am against being online 24/7, but I also think that a strict ban is not the way to go.
I’ve tried multiple things to cut the hours I spend on Instagram and Facebook. Some work, and some don’t. I want to share my experience, advice, and some inspiration and motivation to help you find the path to the life you truly live and love. Don’t be a passive watcher of other people’s lives. Be busy living your own to the fullest!
If you relate to anything of what you’ve read above, My Cozy Escape will be a safe haven for you. You can find articles on reducing screen time, mindful reading, bookish lifestyle, slow living inspiration, and so much more. Basically, this site is an online reading nook for people who want to escape the busyness of the digital world and return to reading books while enjoying their favorite beverage on a rainy afternoon. And how can you say no to that?
