‘When FOMO darkens my doorway I can remind myself that right now there is a girl at the most fabulous party I can think of wishing she was in her pajamas in bed. I can pull the covers up tighter for both of us.’

Oh, how I needed this! The FOMO has really taken its hold on me recently, it’s nice not to feel alone in this 🤍

I’m a simple woman: I see Josh O’Connor, I save the post to read on my lunch break (can’t wait)

Such an enjoyable read. I've just returned from living abroad and with not a single plan in the diary for the next month, this was the reminder I needed to not take this hiatus for granted.

'Step outside and look at the stars and feel very small' was a particularly beautiful piece of advice. Thank you ⭐️✨

Love everything about this article. It's so true how summer can be a big time of FOMO... And reminds me how "comparison is the thief of joy"
