Where do I belong?

The question stares at me, and I have no satisfactory answer. I am the same person who once said "Belong to people, not to places" and today, I neither belong to a person nor to a place. I am living this sense of not-belonging so casually that it somewhere became a part of who I am.

It is like you lived your life tied through a leash and all of a sudden, you are unleashed. You were always told what to do and now, you HAVE to decide. I always thought when this would happen, I will be so happy and free. Now when it has happened, it left a feeling of emptiness, a gash in the heart which is deep.

I am like a 5yr old who's left in the middle of nowhere and does not which way to go to reach HOME. I don't know home anymore.

Is this a temporary lull or will it stay for long? I have no clue. I think it is beautiful that I don't belong though, coz now I can write my own story...tread my own path..fight my fears on my own...

Now, I can walk alone and peacefully coz I don't need to turn back and wait for someone to match steps with me. I am all by myself and I walk alone.
