Editors' Note
Perhaps the best part of being editors for Sin Fronteras is observing
the different facets of writers who are both experienced and emerging.
One thing shared by all of the writers is enveloping oneself in writing, and
creating a space in which one can be experimental, brave, and
unapologetic. These pieces teach new lessons, which apply not only to the
writers, but also to the readers of this issue.
Creating this space is incredibly cathartic, and the addictive part of
this process is discovering new emotions and sides of oneself that would
have remained unknown, had they had not been written out by one's own
hand to stand revealed and unafraid in front of one's own eyes. The
diverse pieces in this issue express humanity and emotion that have
emerged from this process of growing through each written word. Each
piece reflects the beautiful struggle that comes from writing something
with personal value.
Writing is a vital form of expression. It is left behind for others to
use as shelter and inspiration when they are feeling lost on their own
journeys. It provides each of us with a compass to find our own paths, and
the secure feeling that we are not alone.
