Daily Inspiration Quote by Jessica Cutler

FOMO usually hides behind a polite smile; Jessica Cutler drags it into the open and then weaponizes it. The first clause admits the baseline condition of modern status anxiety: fun is a scarce resource, and someone else is hoarding it. Not joy, not meaning, not connection - fun, measured competitively like a social currency. It’s the language of a life lived with one eye on the room and the other on the imagined room next door.

Then comes the turn: “so I take measures.” That phrase is deliciously clinical, like risk management for nightlife. Cutler frames social insecurity as a logistical problem with a solvable workflow. The “measures” are left unspecified on purpose, inviting the reader to supply the familiar toolkit: over-scheduling, orchestrating scenes, curating access, keeping tabs, making yourself the hub so the good time can’t happen without you. It’s control dressed up as spontaneity.

The kicker is “to make sure that is impossible.” She’s not trying to become happier; she’s trying to eliminate the possibility of being out-enjoyed. The subtext is darker than party chatter: if you can’t trust your own satisfaction, you can at least rig the system. In celebrity culture, that impulse makes a certain sense. When attention is both paycheck and proof of existence, “missing out” isn’t just a mood - it’s a threat to relevance. Cutler’s line works because it treats that threat with blunt honesty, letting the absurdity speak for itself: the fear of exclusion becomes the blueprint for domination.
