Curated Insights: Nostalgic Reflections on ILLUMINATION
Written on
Chapter 1: The Essence of Nostalgia
In May 2024, the editorial team at ILLUMINATION has been busy curating a collection of thoughtful narratives. This month, I have put together 164 lists to provide new readers with a variety of topics to explore. Despite the considerable workload of onboarding numerous new writers and publishing hundreds of drafts, I've taken the time to shine a light on some overlooked stories. Aiden, our dedicated editor, has been instrumental in bringing attention to valuable yet underappreciated pieces.
“Today, I learned that abortion remains a significant issue in the US. I find myself contemplating how this situation might improve.”
