Recently, we’ve been thinking about how the structure of learning rarely offers an opportunity for stasis. We are constantly asked to think about what’s ahead, to push through any barriers at an incredible pace, and to perform our individuality as productively as possible. In this sense, we believe that an anxiety about the future is one of our foremost commonalities. When putting together this magazine, we searched for stories that would provide the comforting affirmation that no one is alone in this world. Loneliness is a feeling we all struggle with at some point, and one of the most valuable aspects of this publishing endeavour is ensuring a sense of community; a sense of multiplicity. We sincerely hope that these works will make you feel, somehow, accompanied.
