say yes because the fear of missing out is too great.

10/2024

i wouldn't say that i have "fomo" (fear of missing out), but i think i'm very optimistic about the future. i say yes to things a lot because i always believe that by participating in something or by trying something new, something good is going to happen. even when this isn't the case for a lot of different things, this mindset has led me to unexpected adventures and connections that i never would have experienced otherwise. some might call this naive or unrealistic, but i've found that maintaining this sense of possibility keeps life interesting. sure, not every new experience turns out to be life-changing or even particularly memorable, but the times when something magical does happen make all the other attempts worth it. i wanted to connect this idea to entrepreneurship tbh. i have many great ideas, and there's nothing i love more than to just hacking and playing around with each idea. im not physically "saying yes" or joining anything, but just this representation of WANTING to try everything out because you're scared that you'll miss out on something cool is something that really makes me, me. i'm not entirely sure if this is a good trait or not; i think curiosity definitely is, but wanting to try everything does take quite a bit of time. don't get me wrong, i love coding, but this does get tiring at times when things always lead to dead ends. and the worst part is that, even when i know this project will lead to a dead end, i still follow the little glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel too eagerly. i'm not really sure where i wanted to go with this blog tbh, but i think it was good getting this thought out of my brain. thank you guys for listening.
