ISSUE 5
VOLUME I
Dear Reader,
At Horizon Magazine, our mission is to explore the dichotomy of new horizons. We seek to embrace both the beauty of the destination and the struggles of the journey to find hope. To preface this edition we would like to extend trigger warnings for discussions of colonialism, death, self-harm, suicide, implied child abuse, and sexual assault. We encourage all to read with caution. We hope you enjoy this edition as much as we do!
Our very best,
the Horizon Team
