Authenticity
True belonging is the spiritual practice of believing in, and belonging to, yourself so deeply that you can share your most authentic self with the world and find sacredness in both being a part of something and standing alone in the wilderness. True belonging doesn’t require that you change who you are. It requires that you be who you are.
Maria Popova • Aloneness, Belonging, and the Paradox of Vulnerability, in Love and Creative Work – The Marginalian
True belonging comes when you can show up exactly as you are—when you don’t have to change who you are to be seen and heard.
