I feel that summer FOMO sometimes, too. But I think that one thing Covid gave me was less guilt/shame about how I choose to fill my time. When everyone had to be doing their own thing because no one could depend on anyone else to give them a social life, I was really able to see how I actually like to fill my calendar. And going forward I will be home a whole lot more. I like my books and my garden and my walks and my baking projects. It doesn’t mean I’m not thrilled to be seeing my friends again. But that ability to see more clearly what I do and don’t want to be doing feels like a much smoother process now that I had some practice in a social vacuum. You do you...and don’t apologize. 🙂 You can’t miss out on what you don’t really want to be doing in the first place.
