How I did it: I moved where I live today a little over two years ago and hated it immediatly. Even though I got together with a really great guy (whom I came to love very much) I always counted the weeks, yes even the days.
All I wanted was to go back home.
Now this feeling did not change in two years and I got to admit that the feeling of belonging in my case is relatively short-lived but it doesn't matter - it's about a feeling and feelings will change and develope.
I do not believe that I'll feel like I belong here for all my life - but for the moment it is perfect, I cannot imagine a place where I'd rather be right now.
I do not know when this sudden change of feeling happened, I know that I realized it only a few weeks ago when finally the chance arose to leave this place.
That moment I noticed (and I'm happy it wasn't too late) that I did not want to leave yet.
I was having so much fun, even though my boyfriend and me split up, even though the payment here's horrible. I do not want to leave yet.
When the feeling that I don't belong here anymore arrives I definitely will take my leave, I can nowadays, I couldn't for the past two years but not now!
So, I'm currently searching for a new flat to move to since my old one's a catastrophe. I think I'll stay here (knowing it was my decision and knowing why I chose to do this) for at least another year.
I feel that I can't leave... yet!
Lessons & tips: Don't believe that belonging ultimately means that you'll always stay at one place - you and your feelings will develope. You'll be yearning for different things a few years from now, you'll be wanting to leave some things that you like nowadays behind then as well.
Also:
* have fun at the place where you live, go out with friends and try out different locations - go bowling (it's so much fun), go see a movie, go dancing.
* also enjoy the simple things, for me it's taking a walk along the beach while watching the waves, yes I'm one of the lucky people living directly at the beach. :) But I also love sitting down in a coffeeshop have a large chai latte and just watch people flowing by. It's great!
* take your time! No, I'm not saying you should slug off, I only mean that you should take the time to take everything in and not just rish by in a hurry.

i obviously dont belong in clover. i didnt belong here in high school. i dont belong in rock hill now. i dont belong in charleston. hopefully there’s some where for me some where. maybe.
Sometimes in life you will come to crossroads and they will be so devestatingly huge that you lose track, you don’t know everything about which choice, so you stay…Right in the middle you stop moving, only to find that time passes and you have gone nowhere… With no end in sight… lost. And that the choices are harder and harder.. so you figure out, who you are.. and where you belong and why… It may never be obvious, but you will feel it… and how it’s right.
