Fear of Missing Out

Life is not something you can miss out on, but it can miss out on you. Even though your life is not over there where you want it to be, it won’t be right here either unless you stop imaging elsewhere. Missing out in life isn’t the result of not experiencing some specific part of it, it’s what happens when you’re not present in any of it.

@fakable And I would rather not think of life in terms of roles. That’s too limiting to me.

@fakable Many things work in very specified ways if you simply believe them to.
