Simplified Meaning:

This quote suggests that someone feels like they belong somewhere else, not just physically but in a deeper, spiritual way. It could mean they believe their true home or place of comfort is not on Earth or in their current life situation. For example, imagine someone living in a city who always feels out of place. They might feel at peace only when they visit the countryside, hearing the birds and feeling the fresh air. This person might think, "I belong in the countryside, not the city," and they decide to move there to find true happiness. In a broader sense, it can also mean having a sense of purpose or destiny that feels different from their current life. For instance, someone working in a job they don't enjoy might feel that their real calling is to help people, perhaps as a teacher or a nurse. They might work towards changing their career so they can feel fulfilled and at peace with their life's direction. Applying this idea to your life means listening to that inner voice that tells you where you truly belong or what you should be doing, and working towards making that a reality.
