welcome to issue #7 of ACHE magazine. in this issue of ACHE, we celebrate change. people grow and evolve, and whilechange can be terrifying, painful, heartbreaking, it can also be beautiful. after all, that’s why ACHE is here—to embody the longing, the yearning, for that remote, faraway something that could be or may never be again. change can be pivotal, disastrous,or refreshing, but, more than anything, it is illuminating. it’s what you make of it. in that spirit, we call upon you, readers, to make this year your best yet. as always, ACHE is looking for submissions from artists, designers, photographers,writers, bloggers, musicians, and more. we’re open to adding writers, photographers, and editors to our staff, so let us see samples of your work! to submit, send us your full name, age, city and state/country, and any other information we might need, along with your work. [email protected] keep living young, keep making art, and keep reading ACHE. love, jackie luo editor-in-chief 004
