I'm glad I've moved so beyond:

Belonging is the innate human desire to be part of something larger than us. Because this yearning is so primal, we often try to acquire it by fitting in and by seeking approval which are not only horrible substitutes for belonging, but often barriers to it. Because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic imperfect selves to the world. Our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self acceptance."

~ Brené Brown

You taught me: It's not about me. It's about them.

Thank you for being my teacher.
