issue 04

letters to my younger self

if you could tell your past self one piece of advice, what would you say?

what do you wish you knew one, five, or even ten years ago?

our fourth issue was an ode to our younger selves. the ones who laughed without a care in the world. the ones who overcame challenges and stayed strong in the face of adversity. the ones who refused to let someone else write their stories for them. without our younger selves, we would not be who we are today–for them we are eternally grateful.

thank you to all the artists who trusted us with their stories. thank you to all the readers who continue to support us and this community of creatives. 

we hope i04 was able to give you a chance to speak to your younger self and let them know how much you’ve grown. we hope you will find strength and courage in your vulnerability and let it drive you towards your future goals. 

it is our greatest honor to be able to share your work, all unfiltered

with love,

jaclyn, janie, and the unfiltered team
