Blessings Nathy!
What a lovely post about belonging.
And such heartwarming photos.
I am happy you have been born into a family where you feel free, comfortable and supported. That is the most important thing in life.
I myself missed out on that for many years, and as a result, I had many painful times in life, made poor decisions and did not know how to relate with others very well.
I discovered the only time I felt like I belonged was when I was alone in nature, or alone in the house where I could sing, dance and cry.
Because I lacked a foundation of belonging I felt anxious most of my life.
Nowadays, having spent a lot of time alone in nature, and singing and dancing and crying, and learning to love myself, I have a feeling of belonging, for which I am grateful.
Everyone needs to feel they belong, and nature is one of the best ways to find that feeling if one does not have it in their family. And, of course, singing, dancing, crying and laughing are good medicine too!
