I AM THE BREATH OF PURE LOVE, CONNECTED WITH EVERYTHING, EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE, AND NO ONE NOTHING, AND NOWHERE.

“Belonging tends to build a feeling of security in which members may feel included, accepted, and related, and generally conform to some agreed upon way of being, thereby enhancing their sense of well-being and security. In more simple terms, people who experience belonging feel less alone and less isolated, and they experience a greater sense of wellbeing. This doesn’t mean that we don’t disagree; however, in groups of belonging, those disagreements do not alter our shared identity.”
