Can you belong somewhere without fitting in? Oh, yeah. Because those are two different things. Fitting in means you're accepted by other people socially. You're part of the club. You're in the in group. Belonging somewhere actually is much more existential than that. It has nothing to do with other people's opinion of whether or not you fit in. Belonging somewhere, that has to do with your mission in life. If there's something that I need to accomplish in this place, then I belong there even if no one else there wants me to be there. That's one of the things you learn as you evolve on your spiritual path. It's that a lot of the rooms where you are needed, where you have a special purpose to appear there and to do something and to contribute something, are not the same places where you're going to be lovingly embraced and accepted. You have to get over the discomfort of the rejection so that you can show up where you're needed.
