Am I missing out
MHWA Challenge Prompt one. Have you ever felt you’re missing out in life?
I can’t honestly say that I’ve ever felt I was missing out in life. That must come from a feeling of envy or jealousy when noticing others have something you don’t.
I have always tried to seek satisfaction from what I do have, rather than what I don’t.
Many people I know take long, expensive holidays or have amazing homes that I could never afford, but I try not to feel envious.
FOMO (fear of missing out) is an actual thing now. They even have come up with it’s own acronym! Where does this stem from? Social media is to blame. Everyone’s “friends” post photos of great meals, holidays, experiences, smiling brightly appearing to be happy all the time. This causes FOMO.
Take a breath folks, count your blessings.
I know I may sound a bit Pollyanna like, but as I watch family members suffer from mental health problems, unable to see anything good or worthy in life, makes me, who is in a good mental state appreciate what I have.
