You Must Make Mistakes

You Must Make Mistakes
Inspiring Creativity - Anne Lamott Quote

Creativity thrives in the permission to err - when we stumble, we learn not just what we’re not but who we might become. In Queer life, every “mistake” is a beacon pointing toward authenticity, guiding us away from the scripts imposed on us. Those imperfect drafts, off-key songs, and color-outside-the-lines moments become joyful maps of self-discovery. By celebrating missteps as discoveries rather than failures, we open space for unexpected brilliance. In the Queer creative journey, mistakes are not setbacks but the sparks that illuminate our most genuine joy.
