“I truly believe in the power of believing in yourself can do so much; In your darkest days try to seek more knowledge instead of sadness, use those times to dig deeper in the relationships around you, seek creativity & goals with your skill set & never for a moment believe in the self doubt around you.”
— for girls with broken glass // a love letter to the power of you x

The theme for our next issue is "Metamorphosis."
Life is a series of changes and transformations that range from good to bad, from sudden to slow, and can leave a lasting impact on others and ourselves. Metamorphosis can be a wonderful, magical experience that brings happiness, peace, and growth. Metamorphosis can be a dark and painful series of events for some, as well. These changes can relate to identity, nature, relationships, spirituality, and more. We’re interested in understanding what Metamorphosis means to you.
We accept all forms of art including poetry, fiction and nonfiction, interviews, book reviews, artwork, music, short films, and photography. Selected work will be included in Volume 7 of the Spring 2020 issue.
