“The place in which I'll fit will not exist until I make it”
— James Baldwin
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, we feel out of place because there isn’t a perfect spot for us yet. To feel comfortable and happy, we need to create our own space. Imagine a painter who can’t find the right job, so they open their own art gallery to show their work. They built the perfect place for themselves because it wasn’t there already. This advice tells us not to wait for the perfect opportunity or situation to come to us. Instead, we should take the initiative to make it happen. By creating our unique space or opportunity, we can find where we truly belong.
