2. Meet the man who wrote his love story on Yelp. The restaurant-review site probably doesn’t seem like the best of platforms for long, painfully intimate personal essays on a relationship gone south. But to quote the essayist himself himself: “So many love stories unfold in bars and restaurants … Every meal I had with him was the best meal of my life.”
3. Nineteenth-century Russians also suffered FOMO. Because some things never change.
Just look at this joyful dog! I'm suffering FOMO right now.
