You’re a legend! Last night, on IG, I deleted all of my followers and unfollowed everyone as well. This Substack could not have arrived at a more perfect time. If it feels right you should check in with an astrologer about the shift that’s happening, you’re definitely onto something here.
My identity is no longer attached to IG! As a millennial I feel like I’m coming home to myself. You were right when you said we need to take advantage of the fact that we remember what life was like pre-smart phones
oh my gosh Olivia! this is the best newsletter i've read from you. i adored every single sentence and relate very intensely. i used to have terrible FOMO and over the last few years i can confidently say i align with JOMO almost 100% of the time. it's truly about learning what serves us and what we actually want to be doing and WHO we want to be doing it with. and when i say no to things, i remind myself why i'm saying no. half the time, i just can't handle the parties/shows/people/alcohol like i did when i was younger. and i feel so much more confident and aligned when i stay true to myself. thank you for writing this beautiful article. i will be saving it and sharing it <3
I was just reflecting this morning about how scrolling has slowly creeped into my life again. This read has really helped me to realign with my goals! Keep writing <3
love this so much your writing speaks to my soul! Brat summer on my terms I relate as a 33 year old.. everyones getting married,babies, buying houses. JOMO taking my mornining walks, in bed by 9pm. I need to try the no socials on the weekends!
There is sooooo much wisdom in this post! I definitely feel like I’ve been approaching the jomo/fomo stage of my life and it feels exhilarating. And similar to you - it started when I went on my first big solo trip and deleted Snapchat because I didn’t wanna feel that fomo feeling as I was doing something huge for myself! Now it’s slowly trying to figure out moving that to Instagram (which that platform is ass anyway). Love this post ✨
I thoroughly enjoyed ALL of this! Im 29 and had a very similar experience to your college experience. I do my best to live my life on my terms as an introvert and this is inspiring me too keep doing that and implementing new things to do in my daily routine. This all left me with a warm fuzzy feeling inside knowing other people go through this and that its all going to be okay :) thank you olivia!
felt so much of this. JOMO! so grateful in this moment for this candid honesty and for coming across this essay and for the wordless facial expressions the last paragraph pulled out of me. I'm about to go offline here and I am grateful for the reminder. wonderful words i'll keep with me
