Where do you belong?

Where do you belong? I feel like belong in a place where I love people and people love me. Whether that means with your family, your school, or your neighborhood. But I think it ultimately means that you are comfortable where you are and have people who care about you where you are. There are some places where I feel like I don't belong simply because of my race or religion. Not because people have said anything to make me feel uncomfortable but because there are stereotypes that go along with certain places. Such as white people don't belong in the "ghetto". This is often said and thought of when people see whites in the ghetto. It can make me uncomfortable sometimes when I'm with my friends in these areas. Another place I feel like I don't belong is a church because I'm Jewish and I feel like our beliefs can sometimes make a barrier. But overall the difference between belonging somewhere and not is where you feel comfortable.
