“You may find yourself too changed for your old circles, and not yet fluent in the language of your new ones. This is the social limbo of growth—where you’re neither here nor there, and both ache in different ways. What you need now is intentional belonging—communities and connections that support not just who you were, but who you’re becoming. That may mean seeking out new friendships, mentors, or creative collaborators. It may mean initiating conversations that feel awkward but honest. It may mean grieving the loss of people who can’t make the journey with you. Belonging isn’t found. It’s built.” — Cassandra Brighter
