In the most unexpected spaces, perhaps, among people, moments, or corners we never thought could be, that is where our refuge lies.
It’s a silent, everyday territory where masks soften and the pressure to fit in disappears. There, who we are finds an echo in what surrounds us, and belonging ceases to be a conscious effort to become something that simply happens.
In these unexpected places, we discover that belonging doesn’t always mean meeting what we dreamed of, but what we need, what allows us to be authentic effortlessly, and what, without seeking it, makes us feel whole.
