“Every one desires to belong, to have a family, an identity, and a culture to love and be loved back; that is what makes humanity meaningful. A lot of people work toward attaining a sense of belonging and that makes life a struggle worthy to take on. With hope, it becomes beautiful to work your life goals among people you call your own, a community you share a culture with and neighborsyou laugh and frown with and a geographical area you call your home identity. A wild you are familiar with, a flock you call your own, the true meaning of life.
