Belong sounds like be-long if you say it enough. It sounds like it because it is it only with a dash. Same word only thought of differently when the added dash breaks it up into two words. Just Be-long. Take the dash away. Be long. Longer than short? Or just flexible. Was I not long enough? Being enough? So now I must be longer?

How did those two words shoved together make some doubt so much? What about so much? Put them together. Somuch. It’s not a word. It’s even underlined to warn me it’s not. It’s bothering me underlined. So why did be and long get brought together to make us feel like we are part of something. When we don’t need to be.
