why can't i just fit in?

"I spent years feeling like this, wondering if each new place I went would be the home I was looking for.  Then I realized that 'home' is not something the universe is supposed to give me, a magical place where I'll suddenly feel I belong.  It's a commitment I make to a place and to a community.  I found a place that didn't feel like home at first, but I decided to make it my home.  Every day that I spend here strengthens my commitment.  Every day it becomes a little more like 'home'."

How serendipitous that this should be on the PostSecret blog today. It applies to a number of facets of my life at the moment. Now...time to remember it, and put its message into action in my own life.
