JESSICA WILLIS I have read several slightly different translations of this quote by Dante Alighieri, but I chose this one to letter. I love it because it reminds me to follow my passion - even if it’s with small ideas or little steps. LEARN MORE ABOUT JESSICA:

Bill cunningham Life is short, so I try to enjoy it... sometimes to excess. Without fail, I go hard at brunch until I’m ready to burst. I frequently repeat this personal mantra the whole way home where I lie on the couch, regretting the ‘one more’ Bloody Mary. Someday, I may learn my lesson. Until then, Bloody Mary, anyone?

AYLA MIROLO Pop art ‘bursts’ collided in my head with the idea of eating so much you feel like bursting, which is inevitably followed by a food coma, so I thought I would smush the two together for my first ever attempt at the pop art style.. definitely tougher than it looks!

Cassandra Lea-Saxton When seeing the prompt, the first thing that came to mind were these Dashboard Confessional lyrics. I then moved on to think of other ideas, but had this song stuck in my head for days. I figured it was a sign! LEARN MORE ABOUT CASSANDRA:

JANNA BARRETT I don’t have a deeper meaning here this time; these are just some lyrics from “Pardon me” by Incubus. This song came out in my sophomore year of high school so it brings some nostalgia. I definitely experienced some times that I wanted to burst during that phase! LEARN MORE ABOUT JANNA:

WE’re INTO IT For our first LetterZine contribution, we were excited just to play with the word burst. Intense, sudden, and maybe a bit frenetic, this word reflects a bit about how life feels right now (and we wouldn’t have it any other way!). L E A R N M O R E A B O U T W E ’ R E I N T O I T:

NATALIE FERRO You know that crazy idea, the one that’s bursting with creativity, that’s screaming ingenuity — the one that you can’t stop thinking about and can’t wait to share with the world? It’s ideas like that, that resonate and make me think of my favorite lyrics by The Avett Brothers: decide what to be and go be it. Here’s to everyone decisive, creative, and crazy enough to know that those bursting ideas are the ones worth sharing. L E A R N M O R E A B O U T N ATA L I E :
