Issue One- Infatuation Infatuation- admiration, amore, ardor, attachment, crush, devotion, esteem, estimation, exaltation, glorification, hankering, honor, idolatry, idolization, mash, pash, passion, puppy love, reverence, shine, veneration, weakness, worship, worshipping, yen It is heartbreaking when you go through it... and you don’t quite get what you want but while you are there... you couldn’t be happier. You couldn’t be more satisfied with your life because for once, you have something to live for, something to wake up to, someone to admire. You aren’t alone in a dire existence, whether you gaze from afar or know them close up you have them. Something to make you worthwhile, something to make you feel like you have a fundamental reason for being. That is what this issue is about... nothing else. Issue Two - Pain Pain- affliction, agony, anguish, anxiety, bitterness, despondency, distress, grief, heartache, hurt, malaise, martyrdom, misery, rack, sadness, shock, suffering, torment, torture, travail, tribulation, woe, worry, wretchedness This, in my opinion, is the greatest one of the three. It goes through the internal agony that we, as humans, as lovers, as beings, as teens, as creatures in this realm do as well and demonstrates pure, unaltered, unwavering emotion. Raw emotion. It is an intense work of art and focuses around the bad in life,with a few random things. Issue Three- Recovery Recovery- aid, alleviation, antidote, assistance, catholicon, corrective, counteractant, counteragent, countermeasure, drug, elixir, elixir vitae, fix, healing, help, medicament, medicant, medication, medicine, nostrum, panacea, pharmacon, physic, placebo, proprietary, quick fix, redress, remedy, reparation, restorative, therapeutic, treatment It is just that, a mixture between happiness and the depressing factors of this world that try to hold you down. It is about acknowledgement and acceptence, it is about getting better when you never thought you could. They are scars, not wounds. You are recovering.
