The feeling of fear of missing out on life is terrifying. I have lived my college years feeling this way and the fact is, I have no idea what I was missing out on. Maybe it was the changing world that had me in a chokehold. Maybe it was comparing myself to my peers that had me conflicted. Maybe it was the pressure to be like everybody else. Maybe it was some other reason that I still don’t know of.
Now that I have traveled to some parts of the world, I learned that life happens when we are busy worrying about the uncontrollable variable, that is the distant future, and denying ourselves the existence of our present moment. Life happens when we spend our time looking at other people’s lives. Life happens when we live regretting the past. I am learning to let go of the past, live in the moment, and plan for the future.
Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
George Bernard Shaw.
