This is SO beautifully written. As someone whose entire Substack is about searching for "enough" your thoughts hit spot on. I also think about the idea of belonging is more about an internal compass, whereas external validation (or whatever you want to call it), is more about you feel welcome somewhere. Not sure why that shift in wording helps me so much, but it does.
