Belonging

Sometimes I wonder if we can ever truly satisfy that feeling of belonging, does it culminate with family or is it the never ending room for improvement seamlessly stretching out with no sight in end. No man is an island, no one wants to be alone. We all want to feel loved in our own little ways, whether it’s a big surprise

Or the simple little things  like a kiss just because or holding your hand cause you looked kinda scared, even a hug just because you looked like you needed one.

It’s different for everyone but at the end of the day, aren’t we all just looking for somewhere we belong? Someone who sees’s past all the blemishes, to the heart of us, and doesn’t judge but accepts? Why else would we believe in soul mates or feel the need to have best friends? Each of them satisfies that feeling of belonging in one little way or another, they make us part of a whole in the bigger sense of things for are we not just a piece of a puzzle all working to form a bigger picture?

But for every ying there is a yang, for all the acceptance there are times we face rejection more than we care to accept and the truth of the matter is life is full of failures, it’s not a bed of roses with velvet soft petals but a stalk of thorns we wade through constantly struggling to survive hoping that tomorrow brings a better day, another day in paradise I guess.  But somehow people always get back up and dust it off, the will of the soul to live on past all the pain, the hurt, the up’s and down’s somehow always stronger(should listen to Mary J. Blige’s song , stronger). I was nourished with the information that the soul lives on (who knew school actually applies to real life hehehe) maybe that that’s why it constantly wills us to move on, when the world puts us down with its never ending trials and tribulations, when it seems like all around us there is nothing but darkness. The heart is fragile and sometimes we have to lie to it and convince it all iz well (watch 3 idiots to understand the phrase, awesome movie).

So why not take the time to appreciate the people in our lives for in actuality they make us who we are and what would we be without them.
