I just had this thought. Or I thought it while I was writing the first post but just did not articulate it. Belonging may seem like it is about fitting in with a certain group of people but real belonging is more about accepting yourself. Because if you accept yourself then you will "belong" anywhere. However, before you can accept yourself you must know who you are. So ... Who are you? What's your name? When you look in the mirror do you fully accept the person that stares back? The person that has flaws; the person that makes mistakes. If you can truly accept yourself then what would stop you from accepting others?
How are you creating a space of belonging for others?
UPDATE: I just found this video as I was searching for other songs by Ellis on youtube. But I just love this song now and it seems to fit with my most recent posts.
