In this issue...
we will be exploring the theme of innocence lost, and
innocence redeemed. Through the trials that life brings, our
once attainable ideologies of how we want this world to work,
turn into forgettable vestiges of what once was. But with the
loss of one sense, another will always grow. Through the worst
conditions, we can come out to the other side, bruised, and
growing more thorns than before, but knowledgeable, and
strong... A strength that would have never been conjured if it
was not for those bitter times.
This specific theme is one that lays close to my heart. The
urgency that came with the creation of this issue was
overwhelming... palpable. Some might argue that innocence is
never really lost, that with sustained optimism you can
somehow resist the inevitable flood of apathy. Some might. I
was not so lucky.
This issue is an anthem for the lost ones. The underdogs.
