Defeat & Glory
“Defeat may serve as well as victory to shake the soul and let the glory out.”
Defeat can feel heavy, but it holds the power to shape us in ways that victory never could. Setbacks often teach us resilience - showing us what we’re capable of and revealing the strength we didn’t know we had. Each challenge shakes us, but in that shaking, it also lets the best of us rise to the surface - our courage, our creativity, and our determination. Being a Joyful Queer means finding glory in the moments when we rise after falling, knowing that both defeat and victory are part of the journey that makes us unstoppable.
