From FOMO drama to JOMO

Dear too many options, I quit!

Swipe here.

Scroll there.

Argue on X, flirt on Tinder, get advice from GPT, order lunch, change careers, find a guru, ghost someone.

All before noon.

It’s like starring in Everything Everywhere All At Once movie, except the Oscar goes to your anxiety.

We’re overwhelmed by abundance. Too many apps. Too many tabs.

Too many lives we could be living — and not enough time to actually live one.

Welcome to the golden age of FOMO — Fear of Missing Out on the better version of your life happening in another timeline (or another browser tab).

But what if the real plot twist…is not showing up?

Here comes the unsung hero: JOMO — Joy of Missing Out.

JOMO is a deep sigh.

It’s skipping the viral, the urgent, the “must-see.”

It’s staying home in silence while the multiverse scrolls itself into madness.

Because while FOMO panics, JOMO pours tea.

FOMO compares, JOMO forgets to check.

So here’s your gentle permission slip:

Let the others multitask their destinies.

You — take a nap.

Miss the update.

Miss the drama.

Miss the algorithm entirely.

That’s where joy is hiding. Look closely. Beauty tends to whisper.

Breathe,

B
