Unpublished Editorial Submission

For this Issue, the theme of the magazine focused on the exploration of love in all forms and sizes, including romance, family, friends, community, creativity, the world, and of course, loving yourself. The magazine focused on bringing joy and love especially now in social and politically hard times. The submission I made for the publication was not selected, however, the project explores a more raw version of self love, coming from the perspective of someone feminine. Often times women and femme people are put up against one another to compete, or are forced into boxes of what beauty should and shouldn't be. What my pages convey is that I choose to love myself regardless of what society expects me to be or do.
