The problem is we are frustrated and upset trying to fit in and belong in situations that we think we should be fitting in when it’s not the situation at fault.
It’s the fact that we are not at home and balanced within ourselves.
You know that uncomfortable feeling you get when you wish you could be at home working in the garden or reading a book rather than having to make small talk about the weather. Or worse yet, answer questions about what you’ve been up to since the last time you spoke.

possible failure to take a chance on achieving your dream.
