Belonging Isn’t About Geography

It’s strange how you can feel more at home in a place you weren’t born than in the place you’ve lived for decades.

But belonging has nothing to do with zip codes.

Belonging is emotional.
Relational.
Spiritual.
Felt, not assigned.

Sometimes the people who feel like “your people” are the ones who speak a different language, live a different way, and hold traditions you’ve never known — and yet something about them feels familiar.

India taught me that belonging is a mirror, not a map.

It reflects who you are — or who you’re becoming — more clearly than the place you came from.

If this resonated with you, would you share this?
