It's What You Want

"Joy is not the result of getting what you want; it is the way to get what you want. In the deepest sense, joy is what you want."

It's What You Want
Inspiring Joy - Alan Cohen Quote

Joy isn’t just the reward - it’s the way forward, and it’s the most authentic thing we can claim. When we center joy in our lives - through self-expression, community, and authenticity - we’re not just living our truth; we’re creating the future we want to see. For Queer people, joy is an act of defiance and resilience. It tells the world that we refuse to wait for someone else’s permission to thrive. Joy is how we transform struggle into strength, isolation into connection, and dreams into reality. By choosing joy now, we’re not just imagining a better world - we’re building it.
