For many of us creatives, fall is our time of year. It’s that season when the world outside seems to mirror the intricate creative depths within writers and artists alike. With its range of muted colors, subtle twinge of melancholy throughout, and holidays nestled in, it’s a treasure trove of inspiration. With every changing leaf and familiar breeze, this season reminds us that it’s a cornucopia of imagination fuel. 📖

Content Call! | Spring Break | 3/12 – 3/18
This week we want to hear about your adventures during Spring Break. Tell us about that time you & your friends piled into your roommate’s car for an impromptu trip to the beach, and that person you met there that you still think about. Was there a bar crawl responsible for making you nauseous when you think about a certain liquor? Or were you the designated babysitter while everyone else had fun? We want to hear the good, the bad, and the unforgettable. We would also love to see your Spring Break related photography, vintage memories preferred.

Love is patient, love is kind. At least to some of us. This week we want to read what it was like to fall head over heels, or to plummet down the gallows of heartbreak. Tell us about the butterflies in your stomach, or the lumps in your throat. We would also love to see your best love inspired photography, or digital art.
