How To Keep Track

Queer resilience means honoring our pain without letting it define us. “Write your sad times in sand - write your good times in stone” reminds us to let the hurt be temporary, to let it shift and soften with time, while carving our joy into something lasting. For so many of us, joy has been hard-won and every moment of love, freedom, and chosen family is sacred. We don’t forget the struggles, but we choose to center the moments that lifted us, shaped us, reminded us who we are. In a world that often tries to etch our sorrow in stone, we write our joy there instead.
