Longing to Belong

"It turns out, that being human is not for the faint of heart. We each bravely submit to different handicaps, and although some are more visible than others, they are equally noble teachers."

A true gem of a story that serves as a reminder that everyone goes through their own version of feeling different, not good enough, and like they don’t fit in at some point in their lives.  On some level, we all long to belong; to find our place in the world with kindred spirits.  But sometimes this need causes us to react in ways that are not reflective of who we really are simply to fit in.  We contort ourselves in such a way that, after awhile, we don’t recognize who we are and don’t remember what we believe.  It is only through self examination and looking inward rather than outward that we can discover our own gifts and excavate our inner demons.  Once we accept ourselves for all of who we are – our strengths, our weaknesses, our successes and our failures, can we find our “peeps” and slip into the comforting familiarity of a group of like-minded souls.
