This issue is an ode to what we lose without noticing. A journey into the forgotten pockets of ourselves. A slow unfolding of all that once felt magic; not because it sparkled, but because it belonged to you. To the forgotten warmth of childhood rooms, the unspoken emotions tucked between notebook margins, the quiet nostalgia of objects that never sparkled but somehow held your whole world. A ticket stub. A story you told yourself before sleep. A sticker you never stuck. Fleeting joys that once felt eternal.

Project_zine, in partnership with Heisei 11 Magazine, reflects on the significance of adolescent thoughts on paper and how, when looking back on this vast world, they have a substantial impact. Do you ever find yourself reading old diary entries from 6th grade, or recall wanting to be as cool as the fictional icons, Greg Heffley and Nikki Maxwell? Well, you’re in luck, because we’re here to bring back that feeling of awe. Share your work, create togetherness, build reminiscence.

P.S Bring along your lingering confusions, we accept all baggage here. Submit to our joint issue.
