THE ART APPRECIATION issue
T
There is a phrase that keeps repeating itself in my mind , ? It always gets dark before the dawn .? Though I may have heard these words from a movie , I have to say these past few months put life into perspective . COVID certainly had a big role into my mental health . Though I am a natural introvert and being alone doesn ? t bother me much , not being able to enjoy my favorite activities certainly put a damper on my mood . Believe it or not just a few weeks ago I was attending a virtual fashion show . It certainly was not the same experience , the rush of seeing the garments in person , that vivacity and energy that emanates from the attendees and even the stage performances that would bring a crowd on their feet . I miss it . I miss all of it . With the vaccine now being administered nationwide , you would think that I would be excited to get right back on the saddle . However , there will always be this little voice screaming be careful , stay safe , is that our new normal ? That ? s one question that I will keep asking until I find my answer .
Though we may seem to wallow into our circumstances , there is always an inspiring story that would change our minds for the better . The story of CJ Colas , a warrior and cancer survivor , is one for the books and if you can relate know that you are not alone . We ? ve also had the privilege of featuring a talented photographer , Seth London , who sees the beauty in the primary form of life . Furthermore , our writers never disappoint , with not only highlighting amazing artists such as Chris Brandell , but also with advice from our columnists that will stimulate our brain cells .
Despite it all , I have to remain humble and still be thankful for those who remain faithful to this magazine . For those who tirelessly continue to contribute to this labor of love we thank you and hope you enjoy the 43rd issue !
