As human beings, we crave the safety, love, and acceptance of others and are edified when we can return the same. It's what's driven us to gather into tribes, families, and other forms of community since the beginning of time. However, we may find from time to time that the communities we find ourselves in may not fully meet our expectations or vision for what they could be.
