Loved (one ring in)
Safe is not needing to stay on guard. It often comes with being loved, but you can feel safe with people you barely know.
Cared for (also under Loved)
Cared for is being looked after; safe is being protected enough to let your guard down.
Accepted (also under Loved)
Accepted is belonging as you are; safe is being free from threat.
