Hope in the Face of Heartbreak
It is easy to lose all hope when failure arises. It seems impossible to move past and to continue on the same journey when you’ve just fallen off the track and there seems to be no way to get back up. When searching for utopia, failure cannot stop you from moving forward. You must accept what has become queer (which could be what motivates you to keep moving forward or the thing that caused you to fail) and continue to find new motivation to keep on trudging towards what we all desire in life. Hopelessness and heartbreak, failure and hope. They call come together to form a way of queer. Failing is something outside of the norm, so it automatically becomes something queer. But isn’t queerness supposed to lead us to this utopia of being different? Why is failure something any different from other things that are queer? Are you, yourself, not queer? Would you let yourself stand in the way of achieving the utopia you so desperately long for? Failure is about seeing the mistakes you’ve made in the past and pushing yourself forward in an attempt to salvage the good parts. As we keep pushing for a utopia, we cannot let failure keep holding us back. Failure is queer, utopia is queer, we are queer. When things start to seem hopeless, queer them and keep on track for that utopia.
