Your 20s and FOMO. Big words. The ever present fear of missing out on things, places, friends and life. The dread of not having it all. Of being in one place and regretting not being in the other.
Saying yes to every invitation, living life at full throttle. And yet, beneath the surface of excitement lies a subtle undercurrent of anxiety – the nagging worry that if I don't keep up, if I don't participate in every moment, I'll be left behind.
But as I navigate the labyrinth of my 20s, I'm beginning to realize that FOMO is not just a symptom of the times – it's a reflection of deeper insecurities, of a longing for connection, of attaching our worth to other people and belonging in a world that often feels overwhelming.
It knocked on my door recently and filled me with all sorts of bad feelings and why's. To stop it from consuming me I focused on having a good day. I worked hard at my job. Travelled back home. Cooked good food. Enjoyed the sunset while being grateful for all the things i do have in life. Spent time with my roommates and laughed with them.
And you know what? It felt good.
It's easy to get caught in the quicksand of why's. But in the end, perhaps the greatest adventure of all is not in the pursuit of what we might be missing out on, but in the discovery of what we already have – within ourselves, and in the beauty of the present moment. 🌟
