What To Do When You Feel Like You Do Not Belong In Life

I remember feeling like I never truly belonged.

There was always some other place, some other world, some other people I belonged with, and something always seemed off.

My life felt like I was missing something very essential.

The only thing I truly knew was that this life wasn’t it yet, but I had no idea what it was that I was missing.

What eventually made me feel differently about it was having something to work towards, something that made me feel like my life mattered!

I now know that this feeling of being lost only came from me not progressing anywhere.

I had no path, no goals and nothing that would change as I moved on.

I did not work on myself, my relationship, my goals or anything else and that is why I constantly felt like I did not belong in the here and now I created, for it was not what I wanted.

As soon as I invested into something and progressed in it, my life started to take on the shape I wanted it to take.

I felt more and more as though I belonged where I was, not because I finally found something, but because I had created it.

That meant I had to finally get off my behind and start taking responsibility…
