Sometimes, I write posts that were planned months ahead of time. Other times I just kind of making it up as I go along.
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about fear of missing out or FOMO. Clearly, life is weird right now and it’s easy to feel like things are just happening around you. I mean I guess I have always kinda dealt with FOMO.
In some ways, the past year has helped with this. Nothing can really be happening anyway so I can’t really feel like I am missing out on anything. At the same time, I have also been able to pursue a lot of things that I don’t think I probably would have gone after if it weren’t for all the changes in my life and in the world.
At the same time, I think we all feeling like we are missing out on everything. We are missing out on what we thought was promised to use. What we were told would happen.
I know for myself, and many in similar positions to me, it feels like “the best years” of our lives, our infamous “college years” are being taken from us.
And it’s weird. I know for me if I think about it for too long I get really angsty. It feels like something that was promised was taken from me. At the same time, I know better than to think that anything in life is promised to me. That really doesn’t help the angst.
And for all intents and purposes, my life is going pretty well. I don’t really have much to complain about, and yet its still kind of feels like I am missing out on something.
I am happy, don’t get me wrong. I am happy with where I am in life but I still keep getting this feeling that I am missing out on something, that there is something more out there for me. But there’s really nothing going on out there.
Life is weird right now. We are all missing out on things that were never going to happen anyway.
There is certainly a great deal to learn about this issue.
I really like all the points you have made.
It’s remarkable to visit this web page and reading the views of all mates on the topic of this piece
