Hold On Tight, The Sun Is Gonna Rise

June 23, 2026 · Lucky

What stands out to me about the white stripe is not just what it represents, but where it sits. Right in the center. Not at the beginning. Not at the end. At the heart of the flag. There’s something meaningful about that placement. The design doesn’t place people who are transitioning, intersex, or non-binary identities at the edges as an exception or an afterthought. Instead, every stripe mirrors around that center point. The white stripe becomes part of the foundation. A reminder that identity has never been as rigid or as simple as people sometimes want it to be.

I’m Beautiful In My Way ‘Cause God Makes No Mistakes

Few colors seem to come with as many assumptions as pink. Somewhere along the way, society decided that colors should have rules attached to them. Certain colors became associated with certain genders, certain interests, and certain expectations. Over time, those ideas became so common that many people stopped questioning them altogether. The strange thing is that pink is still just a color. It doesn’t tell us who someone is. It doesn’t determine what they should wear. It doesn’t decide what interests they should have or how they should express themselves.

And Today Is All You’ll Ever Have, Don’t Close Your Eyes

For a long time, the rainbow flag was the symbol of Pride. Created by Gilbert Baker in 1978, it became a banner that represented the LGBTQIA+ community as a whole and remains the image many people immediately think of when Pride Month arrives each June. Over time, additional flags were created to represent specific identities and experiences within the broader community. While the rainbow flag remains an important symbol of unity, these newer flags tell stories that are uniquely their own. So while this post isn’t officially part of the challenge itself, it felt like a natural continuation of the journey.

Every Time You Get Up And Get Back In The Race

Of all the colors represented in the Pride flag, spirit may be the most difficult to explain because it means something different to everyone. When I think about spirit, I don’t think about perfection, confidence, or having life completely figured out. I think about conviction. I think about the beliefs, values, and pieces of ourselves that remain unchanged regardless of what life throws our way.

Remember All The Sadness And Frustration, And Let It Go. Let It Go

Of all the colors I’ve explored so far, blue has been the quietest. It doesn’t demand attention the way some of the others do. It simply asks us to pause for a moment and consider what we’re still holding onto. Not every burden needs to be carried forever. Not every disappointment deserves permanent space in our lives. Not every difficult chapter needs to remain open.
