Belonging.

Sometimes, I get this feeling, this urge to start being completely isolated from people. Because honestly, I don't belong with the most of them. But then again, there are a very few others who also don't belong with most and they draw me back in as much as I drive myself away.

Hello there, I'm the Earthian.

I guess that's whom I belong with. But the question is, do we have to belong with people?
There is this trend of identifying ourselves with the options given to us. We identify ourselves with a lot of things; the food we eat, the culture we follow, the country we live in, the history we relate to, the celebrities we like, the choices we make, the people we mingle with, the field we are keen about and what not. Everything falls under some category or the other apparently and everyone has to apparently fall under something in each category. Any variations is looked differently at.
And that makes anyone who has variations someone who doesn't belong here with the general crowd. Identity crisis is what that haunts that someone from then on and it isn't in the least going to be easy.
But belonging with the general population is overrated. Most people who do belong are people who don't even know what they belong with. They just know they belong with something and that feeling for them is soothing. There is absolutely nothing that's wrong if we don't belong with anyone or anything. It is what it is and I just think it's time to celebrate it. Because why not? At least, we know who we are.

Lot's of love, peace.
