FOMO is nothing new, but it definitely hits me hard from time to time. When I’m scrolling through my Instagram and I see people having fun, or ‘living their best life’ as the kids call it, I can’t help but feel a stab of envy. It’s ridiculous, really. I’ve had a perfectly nice evening – I went for a gorgeous Elemis facial after work, went home and watched 13 Reasons Why 2, and cooked myself dinner – all in all, it was a dreamy night. But after a long quick glance on the ‘gram, I felt a bit down. I felt like I should be drinking cocktails at a London rooftop bar, or partying in Ibiza with glitter on my face, or sitting in a park somewhere with my friends and a bottle of fizz. But no, I was home alone on the sofa sipping a cuppa tea – how very rock ‘n’ roll!

But even if I was invited to any of these things, I know I wouldn’t have gone! Well, perhaps I’d have taken a trip to Ibiza, but other than that, I’d have politely declined the offer. Y’see, I’ve been such an unsociable Sally lately – do you ever go through phases like that? No matter what the offer is, you’d say ‘aww thanks so much, but I can’t tonight’. It’s different because I actually like my own company, but sometimes I wish I lived with a friend who would be like ‘c’mon, let’s go out. It’s too nice to stay inside!’ Sometimes you just need a gentle push… 

So I’ve decided next week I’m going to cram my diary with fun things; whether it’s just a coffee with a friend, a work event or dinner. It’s time to stop being such a hermit – I’ve no longer got Love Island to blame. Let’s see how I get on!
