FOMO

just a nice picture of some candles? fun fact: my grandpa actually made that pretty blue one... i miss that man.

one time i was on instagram or twitter or doing something unproductive like that when i was supposed to be doing math homework or practicing or something productive like that when my mom randomly came in and told me to 

"get rid of your FOMO"

and then my eyebrows went weird directions (like yours just did) and i gave her a super weird 

who-do-you-think-you-are-you look to which she enthusiastically replied 

"it means get rid of your Fear Of Missing Out"

to which i probably returned with a well practiced eye roll and a sassy line like 

"where'd you hear that one?"

because let's be real, that is the probably the gayest acronym i've ever heard (and it means other things too LOL)… but you've got to hand it to her.

as teenagers, we all kinda get a lil angsty about missing out. you scroll through your vsco and see some little hangout that you weren't invited to and BAM. butthurt.

 you're scrolling through the tweets and everyone is talking about some hilarious twitter fight that already got deleted and you can't help but wish you would have got on a few minutes before… 

or maybe you've missed out on some cool opportunities just because you didn't see the text fast enough.

so then pretty soon checking your phone becomes second nature… and if your phone isn't on you you might have a baby panic attack or bust a cap or something. 

so my friends, FOMO is a contagious disease that affects teenagers worldwide.

but on the reals, even if we miss out on some of the good times, there's always more good times.

so let's have a good time.
