The FEAR Issue

We like to talk a big game about being fearless, but the truth is, all of us are afraid of something. Whether it’s social situations, fucking things up, letting people down, losing loved ones, living with regret or flying cockroaches — fear plays a significant role in how we decide to live our lives. But rather than vilify it right off the bat, our aim with this issue is to explore how fear influences the choices we make, how a healthy amount of it can actually make us better people, and how we can use it as a teacher — as a compass to show us where we are not yet free, as a stepping stone to courage, and as a reminder of what is truly important to us.
