I was talking to someone in my chosen family about belonging, about fitting. I was telling her how it would be so amazing to enter a new environment and how nice would be to just fit and click. To just belong. Why can’t it ever be that simple? Isn’t this something that most people want? There shouldn’t be all this other “noise” and overcomplication around it. It is such a simple thing to accept someone, genuinely, to include someone, genuinely but yet those gestures are going extinct. Have you ever felt like you don’t belong? Like you’re an outsider? I have for a long time. In a way, it’s kind of like being on the island of misfit toys, but at least they all had each other. If you have felt this way at all please, help me make a change and extend your kindness to someone, because they could be feeling just as misplaced as you and I am sure they are wanting to “just fit” too.
