How to Overcome FOMO

1. Accept Your Status. Admit that you feel like you might be missing the next awesome thing.
2. Realize You’re Looking at the Greatest Hits. Everyone else only shares his or her biggest hits as well. It’s also good to remember that it’s extremely easy to manipulate “reality.”
3. Disconnect. Turn off notifications for your social apps. If there is a person in particular who sets your FOMO on fire, don’t be afraid to unfollow that person to save your sanity.
4. Live in the Present. Make a list of all the things you wish you had time for: learning a new language, finally reading the book club selection, volunteering. 

So get out there and start living your life, and while you’re at it, practice some JOMO.

Why am I still waiting?

I sit on my bed staring at the clock,
Where are you?
It then strikes half past two,
when will you call?
three o'clock and you still haven't called,
Why am I still waiting?
I've sat here since one pm or earlier,
I'm sick of these games you play.
Tampering with my trust in you and making me feel not wanted,
I'm done with this.
But if I'm sick of all this then why do I stick around?
I love you.
You finally call at pm and I'm ready to let you go,
But I want to know where you were.
So where were you while I waited around for you?
You then say you just forgot.
I think about it all while I listen to Numb by Linkin Park
Which reminds me a little of us.
A month passes and I hear from you yet again,
You want my heart to belong to you once more.
Stupid me let's myself fall back in love with you
I know it won't last forever.
I now feel for someone other than you and it is not fair.
So I say goodbye once again.
A couple weeks later, all I think about is you,
Please let me try one more time.
That is all I ask,
Just one date.

Free or Not?

Shackles of a broken love, loosen and drop from my soul
Give me the freedom I've yearned for to fully make me whole

Allow me to search within myself with the ability to find
A love that doesn't hurt my heart nor destroy my mind

I want to be free, just me, myself and I
I want to be free, and let not time pass me by

For so long I have accepted a cloudiness in my space
No more shall endure such pain, for this I shall erase

The time has come for me to make a new change in my life
Questions and answers being sought, appears before my eyes

I want to be free, just me, myself and I
I want to be free, and live a joyful peaceful life.

I choose to embrace peace and happiness within my inner soul
Thanking you for strengthening me and loosening up this hold

Sometimes it may take time for a broken love to heal
But, only if I keep the faith, will a true love be revealed

It's being free to love me, to love myself and I
Time to me is of the essence and it will not pass me by

How to Get Your First 1,000 Followers on Instagram

Gaining your first 1,000 followers on Instagram can sound like an immense hurdle when you only have 5, and 1 of them is your mom. There’s also the problem of not knowing where to begin. If you’re talented enough to go viral in one go, congrats, but this isn’t for you.
