Belonging Quote by Louisa Thomsen Brits

“Experiencing a sense of presence and belonging is challenging when we're stressed or distracted. Hygge isn't the complete absence of the usual demands of a fully engaged human life, but it is facilitated by a willingness to put down our problems and abandon our cares for a while.” quote by Louisa Thomsen Brits — Download Open image
