This is a righteous post Abbey. Sometimes people would act so "artificial", just to feel a sense of belonging. But at the end, the question is - do they actually feel belonged by that act?
Sometimes, we could spend time trying to convince ourselves of what we want to become, but we could forget who need to be (we need to be ourselves). When we be ourselves, the acceptance/sense of belonging would flow naturally... My opinion though.
Nice piece Abbey
Hello my Dear Sammi :)
I think that is why some people resort to extremes and keep going back for more and more Sami, like the Canandian woman, the sense of belonging is not genuine. I suppose.
YES! We need to be ourselves in order to enjoy a life of true confidence, real self-esteem and subjective well-being :)
Lots of love to you my dear :*
