belonging.
The words ‘you belong here’ are all about people showing up in spaces where they can truly be themselves. What I mean by belong is to take up space… as you are. As your WHOLE SELF. To belong is to NOT conform to things or systems based on your surroundings or to be someone you are not, for the sake of “fitting in” or being tolerated by others. Belonging actually has nothing to with fitting in, but everything to do with standing out—in your power, in your story. As your self.
