When i am out in the wilderness, i belong.
When i am in my house i am truly at home.
Where ever i am geographically i am at peace.
My body is my own.
I am saying these are some of the ways i am always at ease.
But not so in other ways.
Recently i got this job, one morning a week fitting perfectly in my schedule, it fell into my lap miraculously. But now after three weeks things appear less smooth.
I realize i am at odds with certain things in life.
Other people, i too often feel i do not belong. I might appear confident and all, yet i feel very insecure, thinking i am an oddball, i don't belong. Only once in a while i meet people i feel kinship with, yet it is no guarantee for lasting friendship.
My own husband, i feel little connection, i can look at him and wonder; who is he? who is this stranger?
I have never had a job, where i felt this is it, this is for me. working on my own works best for me.
(i do feel very at home on the Internet :)
At parties i leave early, because really i might have fun and laugh a lot, happy and all, but hey they're not for me.
What is that?
I know several people that love their jobs. How do they do it? Like yesterday at that new job, there were many good moments, but also several less so. And to be honest, maybe i am to critical of people. I can love them quite easily individually, but like yesterday, a for me, new worker came in, she had been absent for my first two weeks, but was part of the program for a long time. She did not introduce herself to me and i know that is not such a big thing, but i feel that lingers.....
Someone called me a young soul recently. I liked that a lot, maybe i am like a baby. Opposed to most people, who seem to feel at ease in relationships, maybe i am just not there yet. Do you forgive me?

Its easy to forgive someone whose thoughts show such sensitivity and vulnerability.
Its not unusual for someone to feel they do not fit in. The popular girl or gifted athlete in high school often convey how alienated they felt. The desperate housewife who seems to have everything but longs for something seemingly unattainable- when longing they can be somewhat lost in private moments and often make poor choices.
When you find your soulmate sitting beside you an emotional storm may brighten your world. Or, perhaps just being close to them- a profound sense of belonging will manifest itself in peacefull fullfillment that makes your quotitan life complete.
ops- the spelling was off- quotidian!
examples being:
1. usual or customary; everyday: quotidian needs.
2. ordinary; commonplace: paintings of no more than quotidian artistry.
