@kisatsutai: Both *thanatophobia* and *FOMO* reveal how deeply we crave permanence in a world that offers none. One makes us fear losing what we already hold dear; the other makes us chase what we might never have. They’re two sides of the same restlessness — the struggle to feel complete in the face of impermanence. But maybe the answer isn’t in holding tighter or reaching farther. Maybe it’s in learning to stand still — to let moments come and go, to love without possession, to live without needing to have it all. In accepting the fleeting nature of things, we finally touch something lasting within ourselves.
