I’m home for two more weekends before school starts again, and I’ve caught myself in a funny FOMO paradox. I don’t want to miss out on all the things we have booked for ourselves (camping and trips) and yet I don’t want to miss out on being home for lazy summer days in Steamboat. I have found myself wanting both worlds and not wanting to miss out on either experience. The irony is I’m not missing out, but I have FOMO anyway, and I’m caught in a losing battle. Sound familiar?
