I am learning to start with one conversation, one meal, one ordinary interaction. Belonging usually grows through repetition, not one flawless first impression.
Following up from the thread about being new and unsure you can still call yourself...
That makes sense to me. I have learned that showing up imperfectly is usually better than waiting until I feel completely confident.
