FOMO

I scrolled through all the blogs I follow earlier hoping to find something to inspire me to write because my last post here was on November 2. A blogger whom I follow, Alita Joy, posted something today that I read just a few minutes ago entitled "The Unrelenting Nature of FOMO". First I want to recommend you read Alita's blog post (here). 

 I'll give you a small synopsis. If you don't know what FOMO is don't worry because I literally just learned about it. FOMO stands for fear of missing out. Basically you over-commit in multiple aspects of your life in fear of missing out on something. In Alita's post she talked about how in high school she didn't get as involved as she may have liked to and when she entered college she wanted to make sure she never felt like that again. In her case she overcommitted to clubs, activities, jobs, etc. This year she cut back but she said she's still overwhelmed (but likes the busyness). She has 4 campus jobs, 2 internships, and her social media accounts/blog to run. 

Here's the deal, I do this, but to an extent. My freshman and sophomore years of high school the only thing I was involved in was swimming. Junior year I tacked on DECA, newspaper and a job, although it's seasonal and runs from March-November. Senior year, I've dropped swim but I've taken on way more with DECA and newspaper, and I still have my job. I'm weird because I have this "fear of missing out" in the form of social anxiety. Sometimes I wish that I could be the person who wants to go out every night and have a flaming social life but at the same time I've learned to accept that it's okay that I enjoy staying in with a good book and Netflix. I watch people's Snapchats and "like" their Instagrams on Friday nights asking myself how they can even bare going out after going to school all week. That's just the thing though, we're all wired differently. I'm sure a lot of people question how I'm fine with just lounging around the house all weekend with my family.

 I'm notorious for saying yes to everyone because I'm a HUGE people pleaser but I've definitely been working on it. This year especially I've put into practice saying no to things and I can already see/feel the positive effects. For the first time in my life I can honestly say I'm happy. So much so that I had to stop a few days back and try to pick out what was "off" in my life and then I realized it was that I didn't have any worry in it for the first time. I'm so excited that I can finally enjoy winter and I'm just in better spirits over all.

 Try to eliminate the "FOMO" from your life. If you're feeling overwhelmed identify and eliminate the most toxic things in your life and start to cherish the great moments in your life more. From personal experience I know it's easier to say than to do but once you actually do so, life becomes so much better.

 Until next time,
Taylor xx

(I feel like this was choppy and I didn't mean for it to be so, I just kind of rolled with my train of thought)

    There are many interesting things about our current era, and exploring animals to cross new horizons is one of the things I think is interesting at the moment. Animal Crossing has a large number of fans, and everyone is fascinated by Animal Crossing: New Horizons. There are communities where decision-making is discussed, gardens for relaxation, mysterious islands waiting to be explored, and so on. Players can choose Buy ACNH Bells from the ACBellsBuy website to complete things that cannot be done in their current life. Players from all over the world form a virtual town, and now it seems that this is where all the interesting things happen!

    When the player enters the island for the first time, a story unique to the player begins. Players can borrow bells from Tom Nook. He will lend you this money generously, and it is still an interest-free loan. Players can use this loan to do whatever the player wants. Such as holding birthday parties, giving gifts to friends, etc. If the player does not want to owe the loan, the player can also choose Buy Cheap Animal Crossing Bells to repay the loan. By operating the Dodo at the airport, players can invite players to become guests. In short, life here will be very easy and interesting.
