Underlying Advantages
"Resilience is a precious skill. People who have it tend to also have three underlying advantages: a believe that they can influence life events; a tendency to find meaningful purpose in life’s turmoil; and a conviction that they can learn from both positive and negative experiences."
Resilience is not just a skill—it’s a necessity for us, born from navigating a world that often challenges our existence. We demonstrate our ability to influence life events through our acts of defiance and authenticity, from coming out to creating inclusive spaces. We find meaningful purpose in life’s turmoil by transforming pain into art, activism, and connection. Through every victory and setback, we learn to thrive, turning even negative experiences into fuel for growth. Queer resilience is a testament to our power to shape our lives, find purpose in struggle, and continuously evolve.
