Does a need to belong keep me from living life?
I live my life out there yet to some degree or another I’ve always had a yearning for acceptance at some level. I’ve found that a desire for acceptance will sometimes inhibit me. Inhibit my expression in order to conform.
I have a hunch that others around might on occasion have a similar feeling.
What I’ve learned, that I don’t always practice, is to just get out there. I must remind myself to go out and live. Express without hesitation. Look for similarities. Share and enjoy love, life and laughter.
Naysayers may shake their head. I say let them. Who knows, maybe I’ll inspire them.
Don’t conform.
Find a tribe.
Resonate.
Be accepted.
Belong.
Best. Music. Video. Ever.

HELL YEAH for the little bee girl!
I don’t give six shits what anyone thinks of me; you either like me or h8 me. those that h8 me can FOAD.
I recently saw some words of wisdom on a sofa cushion — “Your vibe attracts your tribe.” Hey, I take wisdom where I can find it, LOL!
Sometimes, we have to create our own tribe. I’ve been doing it for years, and I’m okay with that. 🙂
Much of human psyche is the challenge trying to grow as an individual and being accepted by The Tribe. I agree with Ravager619 we sometimes have to reject old ones to make new ones – but they are tribes nevertheless. Good luck in the juggling act.
Surround yourself with people who like you for who you are, not for what they would like you to be.
I have a post bubbling on just this subject, based on finding that I’m once more struggling to feel included in a group.
Well my dear…you are always part of my group.
