Belonging

No matter what life experiences we have, we all belong. We belong to our own families, in our friendships, and in the relationships we forge along the way.

We know there is a beginning and an ending to our journey both of which are fixed and certain. In the middle we face lifes’ joys and challenges.

If you are reading this blog, I will remind you that you always belong. You are never alone.

Even though I have been isolated physically and emotionally, I have reminded myself every moment for the past 8 years that I still am a mother, a friend, a sister, an aunt, and an advocate.

My advice? Do NOT give up on yourself. Do NOT give up on those important to you. Do NOT have regrets. Do NOT lose sight of the fragility of life. Do NOT ever give up on what is important to you. Ever.

You belong always.
