What is Claimed?

Someone has chosen you as theirs — as friend, family, or community.

When you might feel claimed

Claimed is a specific form of accepted, which itself is a type of belonging. You might experience this feeling in situations where belonging is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define claimed.
