belong

To belong means something or someone fits in with a group or place.

When we think of the word 'belong', we often imagine it being used to talk about where people live. Do you know what I mean? Like when someone says "this is my home", they're not just saying that's where their house is, but also that they feel safe and comfortable there. It's like this place is a part of who they are. The same thing happens with groups too - imagine your best friend joining a new school club and suddenly feeling like it's the right fit for them, like they belong. When we talk about belonging to something or somewhere, we're talking about being connected in some way that makes us feel like it's ours, whether it's a neighborhood, a community, or even just a particular social circle.
