TABOO

It’s just my paper and I. I am the most vulnerable, I am the most honest, the most open, that is when I write. To many, myself included, paper is trusted more than anything else, but why is that? It is because paper never judges, paper never tells you that your idea is too controversial, or society cannot handle your words. Paper is understanding. This issue’s topic, Taboo, not only does it widen our horizon into diverse mindsets, it also sets us free from judgement. I urge you to set your mind free of all preconceptions and dig in, you will find yourself relating to most. If not most, maybe just one. And that’s good enough.
