Like food, like air people need to feel like they belong. So at that age, when you start to try to belong and you start listening to what other people want from you, and what other people think is best for you, while trying to fit in you can become easily influenced and conditioned.
Because we’re all trying to fit in, all the time. But at that age, around teenagehood, it’s so, so strong, and you feel you’re going to die if you don’t belong. And in that search of belonging, we lose ourselves sometimes because we think that we need to be like everybody else.
We forget that we came here as beautiful, unique individuals with something so beautiful inside. It was our gifts, our talents, something that we came here to do.
And for me, it took me so long to reconnect with that part of myself because I got lost in trying to do life the way that life was supposed to be, so that I could also fit in.
