    ““Community isn’t meant to be efficient or perfectly convenient,” says Kaur. “True belonging often asks us to rearrange our schedules, sit with differences, or extend patience when it would be easier to walk away. That inconvenience is the investment – because what we receive in return is deeper connection, a sense of shared humanity, the resilience and psychological safety that comes from not having to carry life alone.””
