"La véritable appartenance ne nécessite pas de changer qui vous êtes"
— Brene Brown

Simplified Meaning:
Being accepted genuinely means you don't have to pretend to be someone else. Imagine a person who loves painting, but to fit in with a group of friends, they pretend to enjoy football instead. To truly belong, they should be able to talk about their love for painting and still be welcomed by their friends. Real belonging is when you can share your true self—your likes, your dislikes, your opinions—and people accept you as you are. It's like finding people who love you even when you show your flaws, quirks, and differences. In everyday life, this means seeking out friends, family, or communities that encourage you to be your real self, instead of trying to change to fit someone else's idea of what you should be.
