"Have you ever wondered how a mirrorball is made-how tiny, broken pieces come together to reflect so much light? Our hearts are just the same. We shine because we've been shattered. We learn through our brokenness. We rise, stronger and more independent. And in that, we become uniquely beautiful. We don't give up-because even in the dark, we keep turning, reflecting every bit of light until we win. Life doesn't break us to destroy us-it breaks us to awaken something deeper within. Every fracture in our soul becomes an opening for grace, for wisdom, for strength we never knew we had. The pain doesn't disappear, but it shapes us, carves us into something more real. Like the mirrorball, we are made of sharp edges and reflections-reminders of who we were, and proof of who we've become. And maybe the most beautiful kind of light is the kind that shines through brokenness, because it's honest, it's earned, and it's ours."
"For those of us in the LGBTQIA+ community, our light is not something the world handed to us-it is something we had to fight for, often in silence, often in fear. We are taught to dim ourselves, to break our reflections just to fit into a world that was never built to hold all our colors. But still, we rise-from closets, from shame, from rejection-and piece ourselves back together with trembling hands and fierce hearts. Every shard we carry holds a memory: of hiding, of surviving, of finally choosing truth over safety. And when we finally stand in the open, we do not just shine-we blaze. We become living proof that even in the face of hate, love endures. That even in the face of erasure, we are still here, still dancing, still made of light. And in our defiant joy, in our tender resilience, we remind the world: you cannot silence something that was born to shine."
"And it tells us; 'Even when life shatters you, never forget that the broken pieces can still reflect light-because you were never meant to hide, you were meant to shine.'"
