Belonging

“I had friends at school, but I was never part of a gang and I dreamed of that sense of belonging to a group.”~Emily Mortimer

This sense of belonging is a new one and today I finally understood. Seeing people who my world revolved around for years I realized that with them I was myself but I was always trying to be what I thought they wanted me to be not myself.  It’s been a process, like a two year process but I have finally got it. I hope anyways.

I have a great group of friends that accept me for my crazy, sometimes quiet mainly loud talkative, hyper, giggly self. Yes they pick on me ALL the time but I love them for it!  I leave tomorrow on an adventure, while it may not be the one I had originally planned I hope I learn about myself and why I want to stay right where I am.  Kentucky and Europe will be a blast, I will learn so much, see so many things but I get the feeling by the middle of September I will be just as excited to the amazing Green Mountains that I love so much.  They are my home, I may leave for a little bit but I will always be back!
