One human quality that we all share, despite our individual identities, is the need to belong. The cost of belonging, can be substantial. Many social groups could have different expectations and could demand unquestioning obedience and conformity, which can conflict with our own ambitions and views in life.

Aside from all the obstacles she faces, she is balancing her religious and western identity, taking the beautiful things out of either, to fully appreciate life.
