Today, I had a sort of light bulb illuminating above my head, epiphany moment. For a while now I had an ache for something. It felt as if no one understood or accepted me. I didn't even know I felt this way until I listened to a song today recommended to me by a family friend. Once I listened through this song twice and had my alone time with God (yes, I cried a little), a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders that I never realized was there.
I felt the need to write a post about this because I am sure there are plenty of people who have or currently feel rejected, alone, disconnected, left out, unloved, misunderstood, forgotten, and invisible among their friends and family.
Starting from elementary school to now I could never keep friends. Especially being a young kid, children would always figure out ways of why you weren't allowed to be in the "group" anymore. So, being around family has always been an escape for me because I could be myself and be assured that I was loved, accepted, and thought of from time to time.
Recently I was having a discussion with family about my thoughts on not being able to find people my age or with the same mindset that would "just get me!"
We all want to surround ourselves with people who make us feel accepted or like a family member apart from family! We all long to make special connections with people to feel like we belong, it's a part of human nature.
