Trying to fit in

Do you ever feel like you should be someone you're not? The desire to fit in can do that. But when you hide parts of yourself, you'll never feel like you belong, because you aren't actually being yourself.   Resources & References "Because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance." – Brené Brown, Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead   "Belonging to ourselves means being called to stand alone — to brave the wilderness of uncertainty, vulnerability and criticism." – Brené Brown, Braving the Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone   For Aili's latest work and offerings, visit ailikuutan.com.
