The fear of missing out or FOMO if we want to be modern, have you experienced it? I bet we all have at one point or another, whether it’s worrying about missing out on time with friends, on opportunities or simply the worry that someone is living a more interesting life than you, we’ve all been there, flailing around worrying that we’ve taken the wrong path, everyone we know are getting jobs, degrees, boyfriends and girlfriends and amazing opportunities – sound familiar? 

I’ve been there too but I want to write about a more specific case of FOMO today – The fear of missing out as a blind person in a visual world.

My mind is often laden with thoughts about my disability but those thoughts are often silent, a silence that I can only break through the words I write here. 

So this week’s spotlight is on FOMO as a blind person living in a world which wasn’t designed for those of us who can’t see.
