Slow Living Quotes

“Journal prompt: What would you regret about today when you wake up tomorrow? I would regret not appreciating the slowness that today was trying to gift me. I’m always so quick to want to leap into the new, that I often don’t give myself time to soak in the little things that make this moment right here so special. Then one day, though it’s always so hard to believe, I’ll likely think to myself (as I always do), how I miss this pace and all the things I’d give to live it again. So here it is… your reminder to take a little time to enjoy the quiet and the slow drip of time before everything as you know it right this second somehow melts into another, “where did this month go? It flew by!”.”

Ze tonen daarnaast niet alleen een groeiend ongemak met ons destructieve materialisme, maar ook een latent besef van het verlies van betrokkenheid met de spullen die we hebben en met de dingen die we doen.”
― Ruben Jacobs, De eeuw van Felix

“Because what is privilege if not an opportunity? Opportunity to make things better for everyone? Opportunity to see inequity and rectify it?
