Feeling like an outcast?
Let me ask, how many of us feel like outcasts? Feeling a pervasive sense of ‘not belonging’. Feeling that you are missing your tribe, seeking, searching, and longing?
I know I have long identified with this archetype. The one that never quite fits in. Then, when I do find someone/somewhere I cling on never wanting to let go, only to squash the life out of the very thing I ‘felt’ was home.
They leave/I leave thinking there is something missing, it didn’t’ quite ‘work’ I didn’t quite belong after all.
Often, something happens that reactivates this core wound of mine. For many years I felt an outcast, rejected, and abandoned. I’ve long been walking a path to self-acceptance and love.
Is this not the journey of being human? How do you feel when you betray your own truth in order to fit in? Is it ever worth it, just to feel that fleeting sense of belonging?
There’s a deeply peaceful ‘belonging’ that waits quietly in our hearts. A ‘belonging’ that can never be shaken. This I know to be true as I tend to my inner little one, the small girl who lives inside me still and is the one feeling this way.
I CHOOSE my community and people; I have been chosen by those in my life. I am loved, appreciated and valued for being ..well…me…warts and all…by so many.
Do you know the secret to that inner belonging, though?
….I choose me. Simple. That is all.
I choose me.
I choose to belong.
I choose to be me,
I choose to love.
I choose.
And in this current world that still is a gift, a privilege, and an honour to live in, I count my blessings; it gives me a fire in my belly to continue to empower others to do the same - for it is only from love that the world can live in peace.
That includes you and me. Can you choose you? It is in the choosing we are no longer the outcast. No longer rejected. You shift. Your energy shifts. Others shift. That’s the secret.
Are you ready?
Do you want to know more of who you are and learn to accept yourself?
