Dreams Conquer
“I have had dreams and I have had nightmares, but I have conquered my nightmares because of my dreams.”
Dreams are the bright, joyful visions that contrast with our dark moments. Resilience often comes from holding onto those dreams when nightmares try to weigh us down. It’s the light of what we hope to create - love, community, authenticity - that helps us survive and conquer the heaviness. Joy is found not only in reaching those dreams but in knowing they’ve helped us endure. Being a Joyful Queer means trusting in the power of our dreams to guide us toward brighter days.
