“The truth is: Belonging starts with self-acceptance.”

Simplified Meaning:
When you truly want to feel like you belong, the first step is to be okay with who you are. It's important to accept your own strengths and weaknesses. Think of a time when you joined a new group or started a new job. If you are always trying to be someone else, you will never feel comfortable. For example, if you love drawing but pretend to like sports to fit in, you won't feel as connected to the people around you. By accepting your love for drawing and sharing it with others, you will attract people who like you for who you really are. This way, you create a sense of real belonging. Becoming comfortable with yourself helps you to find where you truly fit in and build stronger connections with others.
