PREFACE
“ HERE , TOO , A BRAND-NEW DAY IS BEGINNING . IT COULD BE A DAY LIKE ALL THE OTHERS , OR IT COULD BE A DAY REMARKABLE ENOUGH IN MANY WAYS TO REMAIN IN THE MEMORY . IN EITHER CASE , FOR NOW , FOR MOST PEOPLE , IT IS A BLANK SHEET OF PAPER .” -HARUKI MURAKAMI
LIKE MURAKAMI SAYS , EACH DAY IS LIKE A BLANK SHEET OF PAPER , WAITING TO BE FILLED WITH THE STORIES OF OUR LIVES . IN THIS MAGAZINE , WE AIM TO SHOWCASE THE DIVERSE VOICES AND EXPERIENCES THAT MAKE UP OUR WORLD , FILLING THOSE BLANK PAGES WITH WORDS THAT CAPTURE THE INNATE BEAUTY , PAIN , JOY , AND COMPLEXITY OF OUR HUMAN EXISTENCE . WE HOPE THAT THE STORIES AND POEMS WITHIN THESE PAGES WILL LEAVE A LASTING IMPRESSION ON YOU , JUST AS EACH DAY HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE REMARKABLE AND UNFORGETTABLE .
