Where do you belong?

Theme song for this post~ Ramones, Outsider

Do you ever have phases in your life where you can't really tell where you fit in? It's like you're just floating on a breeze and anyone that you land beside doesn't seem to "get you"? I'm going through that again, right now. I have a lot of friends and family, but sometimes I feel overextended and like I can't just find peace of mind with someone for a little while.

Basically, there's times when I just want to "be" and don't know what I should say or do or who to say or do it with... It's like you just wanna relax and be yourself, but even with a million friends, it's like you sometimes feel like you don't have a place to fall when you wanna "find zero". I've been saying that for years and years--"find zero"--it's something that I say when I want to reach that incredible feeling of peace that we all get when we feel content in where we are and in what we're doing; it's really not that easy to find and keep, so I enjoy it when I arrive there... at zero.

the big question
How do you manage to fit all of the different qualities of yourself--your interests/hobbies-- into your life and friendships? Do you have a small circle of friends that just "get" you or do you have different groups of friends or maybe social media outlets for finding those niche groups for sharing the different interests of yours?

Do you think it's possible that when we feel so "out of place," that we're really just having trouble navigating our own mind and we are, in fact, not out of place at all? Maybe, people actually want to talk to us about whatever even though we think they wouldn't care...? Maybe, I need to spend more time meditating and/or creatively. I think I think too much and put too much pressure on myself. #introvertprobs

Thankful for knowing people like this (in the photo)
