FOMO YOLO DIEM

[lizardek]

Are you familiar with FOMO and YOLO? YOLO stands for You Only Live Once and FOMO stands for Fear Of Missing Out. I never subscribed much to YOLO because I don't believe that's the case, but I find as I age that my feelings of having to enjoy things or try things or do things now is increasing because well, even if I DO live more than once, the *I*

I've never heard of YOLO, but then I don't frequent social media so that's not surprising. I have heard of FOMO, but again mostly in the context of social media, even though there have been people that have exhibited that behaviour for as long as mankind has been on the planet. I guess it's just never had a catchy acronym before Facebook et al came along

I managed to stave it off again. I wonder now if it will keep trying... is it hovering in the background just waiting to pounce again or have I scared it off for good? It's spring now, and I don't have TIME to be sick!

I don't believe in yolo -that said, I think I have come to terms with Fomo. I figure that much of my list of yet to do stuff will happen somewhere in the future -or maybe it's from the past that I would just like to re-visit, or re-do!
But most of my list now is spending time with family and getting all the paintings done that I still want to do! Love, Lizardmom

ACK! I have been recovering from working all the time by being a slug!

I have read 4 books though.

BUT STILL!
