ranting
happy new year!! or almost new year to whoever still didn’t reach 2026 yet!!
i need to rant for a bit. sorry if im being negative on a special day but i need some place to talk. today ive realized that i dont belong anywhere. ive realized a lot of things these past idk how long. days weeks months. i dont belong anywhere. i dont have a place where i fit. i think thats the saddest realization ive had so far. i had the realization today. i had the realization that i changed. i grew up. that i lost myself. i had it and it was sad and heartbreaking but i know that i would eventually find myself. i will. i hope. or that’s what i convinced myself with. i convinced myself that im just growing up. that this is just a part of growing up. that everyone goes through this. that it’s normal. i convinced myself enough. convinced myself enough that i’ll be better. that’s what i’ve been doing my whole life haven’t i? convincing myself each time that i’ll be better but all that’s happened is that ive fallen so deep. i’ve never fell this deep. i don’t know how to go up anymore. and now. i realized that i don’t belong anywhere. and i can’t even convince myself anymore. i can’t help myself. i don’t know how to get through this anymore. i don’t belong with my family. i don’t belong with my friends. i don’t belong in college. i don’t belong with myself. i don’t belong anywhere. and that’s the saddest thing i’ve ever said. happy new year everyone.

I'm sorry you feel that way.
But this doesn't mean you don't matter.
Or that you can't fit in.
You have just yet to meet your people.
You matter.
I hope 2026 will allow you to rediscover you 💚

You belong here!
@pluckyCoconut4376 What you're going through sounds really tough and I'm so sorry. You're definitely not alone though--I've personally struggled a lot with feeling outcasted/like I don't belong anywhere as well. It can be very overwhelming and difficult. I want to remind you that you are so much more loved and cherished than you could ever imagine. It WILL get better. I know how painful it can feel, but remember: you're a child of God--uniquely and wonderfully made, belonging to Him--and you're here for a reason!! Please be kind to yourself!!
Always remember to be as loving and kind as possible to those around you, and trust that you WILL find a community that you connect with! If you feel comfortable, you can try reaching out to or joining volunteer/community organizations and initiatives (ex. volunteering at the animal shelter, soup kitchen, hobby groups/activities, etc.--any group where you can meet new people, give back to others, and gain a sense of belonging). Also, by reaching out on here, you're already such a valuable part of the 7 Cups community!!
Never forget how precious you are, and keep going!! Take small steps (make sure to rest and you can always take a step back when needed). The journey may be tough, but again be kind to yourself and others and have faith. We're rooting for you!! I'm sending you love and hugs and praying for your new year!! 💖
