This is a lengthy read and I have chosen to read one piece at a time. I will most likely continue responding to each piece.
The first piece resonates with me. Being who you are is a luxury and is what striving for. I have dreams that seem lofty and it can get overwhelming but it is what fighting. There is nothing worth more than being free and expressing one true self.
Generally a magazine contains many article that's why they are long by length. Yet they are amazing to read.
You have said well. Try to read all the pieces hope they will come up to your expectations. Have a nice time!
