For this issue, we ask you to visit a bittersweet moment in time steeped with nostalgia. Remember the days when everything was tinted sepia and 2010s pop music drifted out of storefronts? We ask you to reminisce, remember the sticky popsicles and skinned knees, sandals slapping on blacktop as you ran down the street during golden hour. Remember the days with dandelion crowns and crayon sunflower drawings? Dandelions symbolize resilience and healing, and sunflowers symbolize faith and joy. Revisit the shy, skinned-knee child, or the bright-eyed, suntanned, spirited child, or whatever child of summer you were as you began to bloom, planted in soil watered with faith and joy. Who were you before you were resilient? Who were you before you healed?
