Illuminating the Path
"E.L. Doctorow said once said that 'Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.' … This is right up there with the best advice on writing, or life, I have ever heard."
This quote isn’t just about writing - it’s about life. For Queer people, navigating a world that often feels uncertain or unwelcoming can feel like driving in the dark. We don’t always see the full path ahead, but step by step, we move forward, creating something beautiful and meaningful along the way. Being a Joyful Queer means trusting the process, even when the next step is all we can see. It’s about embracing the journey, finding joy in the small victories, and knowing that every illuminated moment brings us closer to the life we’re building. Keep going - your headlights are enough.
