Hi Ozorian,
I attended Ozora last year for the first time ever. As a trans woman, I have never been to a festival where I felt like I was at one… I always felt like I was looked at, stared at, had rude remarks made about me… that was until I finally took the leap to go to Ozora. It taught me love, it taught me that we are all connected and that something is much bigger than just our living selves.
I wanted to write a message using my experience as influence and using the fire as influence as a symbol of connecting with each other:
Some days, the world feels heavy. The noise, the fear, the endless divisions—it can make you forget what really matters. But even in the darkest moments, even when it feels like the cold might swallow us whole, we are not alone.
We have each other.
We are the ones who refuse to be hardened by a world that sometimes feels unkind. The ones who still believe in love, in healing, in something bigger than ourselves. The ones who fall, who break, who struggle—but who always rise again.
So, when the weight of it all feels like too much, remember this: There are hands reaching for yours. Hearts that beat in rhythm with your own. A fire that will never go out, as long as we keep passing the light to one another.
Keep going. Keep believing. Keep striving to be the best possible version of you.
And when the world outside feels too distant, too lost in its own chaos—know that there are places where love still thrives, where souls unite as one, where mystery and magic embrace you like an old friend.
Ozora is one of those places.
A reminder that paradise is not a destination, but something we create, together.
