Letting Joy Find Us
“Joy bursts in our lives when we go about doing the good at hand and not trying to manipulate things and times to achieve joy.”
Joy has a way of surprising us when we focus on what’s meaningful instead of chasing it directly. Joy often arises in moments of authenticity - when we create art, support each other, or celebrate our unique identities. It’s not about forcing happiness or controlling outcomes - it’s about leaning into the present and doing the good that’s in front of us. Being a Joyful Queer means embracing the small, everyday actions that bring joy naturally - showing kindness, sharing a laugh, or simply being ourselves. Joy isn’t something we capture - it’s something we welcome by living fully and with purpose.
