Belonging Scares Me but Here I Am Anyway
<p>It occurred to me recently that finding my place amongst my tribe of people where I feel welcomed and wanted is <em>unsettling</em>.</p>
<p>Makes me <em>uncomfortable.</em></p>
<p>Could be because of my divorce and going through the detachment from someone I thought was forever. The sting of rejection knowing I was no longer loved or wanted.</p>
<p>And the many other prospects that followed after who eventually fell away either mutually, by my choice, or theirs.</p>
<p>Then there are the friendships I cultivated where I bared my heart and soul, sharing the deepest secrets. A safe place I once retreated to but later discovered I was misunderstood and judged.</p>
<p>I often feel like a lonely traveler, wherever it is I’m headed. I’ve been part of something and also separated. I get along well, I’m easygoing and enjoy the company.</p>
