A LOVE LETTER TO YOU

Yesyou. The one thumbing through these pages, maybe out of boredom, maybe out of burnout. Maybe just looking for something real in a world of group chats, ghosted texts, and microwave dinners. Whatever brought you here, we're glad you came.

Let's just call this what it is: a love letter. From us, the ragtag Gen Z bunch behind the headlines, fashion finds, opinion pieces, and awkwardly worded horoscopes; to you, our beloved reader. This isn't a column. It's not curated. It's not SEO-optimized. It's just us talking to you, human to humanbecause somewhere between algorithms and aesthetics, we forgot to say something important; we see you. And we love that you're here.

We know life is a lot. It's Sunday scares and Monday chaos. It's pretending to have a five-year plan when you barely know what's for dinner. It's chasing productivity while secretly craving peace. And yet, in the middle of this storm of modern living, here you are, choosing to pause, flip, read. To connect. That means something.
