Where Do You Belong? Who Do You Belong With?

Humanity and belonging on Earth

We all want, I’d dare say, need the feeling of belonging. Belonging where and to whom though? Some of us feel like we belong nowhere. But Harry Stefanakis wrote this piece “I am Sitting” I read the other day, and I cannot stop thinking about it.

“I am sitting
everywhere
boundless and
n-o-w-h-e-r-e

I am sitting

What words did you read in the second to last line?”

~Harry (Harilaos) Stefanakis

Do you see it? What words did you read here in — N-O-W-H-E-R-E?

I didn’t. Nowhere.

Look again.

N-O-W…H-E-R-E

Even if we feel like we belong nowhere, it is also now here.

You belong now, here and everywhere! Where you can be your true self, through and through.

You may feel like your differences alienate you from humanity. I know this feeling myself. But your uniquenesses — these are what make you a simply stunning human being.

We all share the commonality of being different. We are all unique fingerprints of the Universe.
