You open Twitter.
You scroll.
Everyone is making money.
Green charts, rocket emojis, and "I told you so" tweets flood your feed.
And you? You're still on the sidelines, waiting, hesitating.
That was me.
For weeks, I watched the market move without me.
I kept telling myself I'd wait for the dip.
But the dip never felt "low enough."
Until one day, I snapped — and bought in… not because I had a plan, but because I was scared of missing out.
I didn’t research.
I didn’t understand what I was buying.
I just wanted to feel like I belonged in the winning team.
But FOMO doesn’t care about timing.
It doesn’t care about you.
It pushes you into trades you don’t believe in — and leaves you holding bags when the music stops.
The worst part? It makes you think everyone else is smarter than you.
They’re not. They’re just louder.
Next time, I’m not chasing the noise.
I’m chasing what makes sense to me.
Because peace > panic.
