Spreading JOMO
By now you’ve probably heard of FOMO, or the Fear Of Missing Out. Yep, it appears we have successfully made our junior-high insecurities into a celebrated phenomenon. Personally, I’m not okay with carrying my adolescent anxieties into my midlife evolution and beyond.
Recently I learned of JOMO, or the Joy Of Missing Out. This too is becoming a cultural sensation, but this one validates. It’s a repurposed Just Say No–a transformed teenage-era catch phrase that still resonates with my ripening self.
Either fear-based or grounded in peace. We get to choose, and thus create our lives. Either way.

That second picture pulls me in, too. Be sure to click on it and read the JOMO article it came from. 🙂
Is it an oxymoron for me to embrace a group mentality that celebrates thinking individually…? I can live with that!
