From FOMO to JOMO

From FOMO to JOMO

I was not always like this This is not who I used to be ..

I used to live in the crowds I used to love the hustle Was in love of those sounds Watched the city life bustle

Loud music, was what I danced to Loud parties, my hearts belonged to Loud laughters, of all those gags too Loud colors, I even vibed to

But now, I am not who I used to be

For once there was a time When I feared of being left out In fear of getting alone Often, I even stressed out

For now I seek peace in staying inside Aloof from the chaos just strayed aside And in solitude, I lay just calm beside Like a sail on the shore, thrashed by riptide

It's quite a huge change you see

For a person who was always so busy Now, I find peace in doing and being nothing For a person for whom once talking was easy I find silence - a retreat; passivity a thing

I've fallen more in love But with nature than ever The beauty of skies, The clouds and the river

I wonder if there's ever going back To way the things were and used to be For it's been more than just a knack Of how things were always supposed to be

For everything has changed And every time that used to be

And I was not always like this This is not who I used to be

Not who I used to be.
