What does identity and belonging mean?
The question is too short. Perhaps you mean something deeper than just the dictionary meaning of those words. Identity is the idea of “self” that is developed along the path of a living thing. Animals have identities too. That’s how they recognise and interact with one another. This identity is so strongly attached to you that you cannot imagine you are someone else unless you are a trained actor. Belonging is all about your comfort zone. You feel comfortable where you are accepted as a member, and that define your comfort zones in life. You may venture out of where you belong but at the end of the day you would like to be back to where you belong.
