    Should You Feel Guilty for Wanting More Than a ‘Simple Life’?

    Image by Alisa Anton These days, the idea of a “simple life” has become a kind of modern-day holy grail. A slower pace. A cozy home. Time to cook, read, garden, and log off. It’s all over Instagram and Pinterest—soft lighting, clean counters, linen clothes, and the promise that peace lies in less. For some, it’s a genuine dream. For others, it feels like a quiet, low-key pressure to downsize your ambition and trade hustle for hygge. So what happens if you don’t actually want a quiet life?
