Throughout my entire life, the word cozy has been a word that often creeps into my vocabulary and gives me a lovely warm feeling as I think about one of the ten-million visions of “cozy” I have in my head. Consider: a warm corner, with an old, cushiony chair, a small, beat-up wooden side table on which sits a tea cup, and book, and the whole thing infused with soft, relaxing light. I would be completely content to call this little corner forever mine.
Now let’s bring AI on board and see what they have to say about the word “cozy.”
Being “cozy” means being in a state of comfortable, warm, and snug physical and emotional ease. It implies a sense of being safe and secure, often in a small or intimate setting, and is associated with feelings of relaxation and contentment. The term can also describe pleasant, friendly interactions or activities.
Snug is a perfect word. Safe. There have been just a handful of times in my life where I have felt safe. Snug and cozy, yes. But safe was always elusive, largely because I did not do a good job of keeping myself safe. But that’s a story for another day.
Anyway, these are times when to be cozy is essential. Go find your little corner of the world, make it uniquely yours, grab a good book, and read on while the tumultuous world spins wildly out of control around you.
