The optimist flag

With this flag I am trying to spread my form optimism. If you’re here, you might have seen the flag flying somewhere in real life. If that’s the case, thanks for checking out this page!

To me, this flag represents optimists worldwide. It’s meant as a symbol for a movement that aims to practice collective hope about possible postitive futures.

This form of optimism is not about pure positivity or looking at the world through rose tinted glasses. It’s an activistic form of optimism that acts as an answer to the cynicysm and radical hate all around us. It is my strong belief that we need to practice believing in a positive future together. Because only that can give us enough energy to fight for it and make it happen.
