The centerpiece editorial “Watered With Love” reflects on what it means to “grow up,” questioning social pressure to abandon hobbies and pursuing passion instead of chasing status. It argues that fulfillment can be built over decades, reframing time and “cringe” as sources of joy and organic growth.","FW 2023 ISSUE NO. 5  \nTable of Contents  \nCandid FW23  \nFW23 | 2  \n4-78-11 14-19 20-23  \n24-31 32-33  \n34-39 40-42 43  \nWatered With Love  \nWritten by Maxwell Wheeler • Photographed by Zach Winger  \nBright Fucking Red  \nWritten by Lexi Reed • Photographed by Drew Head with illustrations by Lucy Blair  \nRu  \nPhotographed by Cierra Fitzgerald  \nBreak Up with Your Anime Girlfriend  \nWritten by Mars Yates • Illustrated by Lucy Blair and Eli Fossett  \nThe Plant Palette  \nIllustrated by Various Artists  \nThe Creative Lockdown  \nWritten by Oakland Jarboe • Illustrated by Katherine Medina  \nBeauty in Permanence  \nPhotographed by Ripley Davoe  \nBroken Promises  \nWritten by Emely Sandoval • Illustrated by Kayla Allen  \nCredits  \nEvery contributor listed  \nFW23 | 3  \nWatered  \nWith Love  \nMaxwell Wheeler  \nhen you “grow up”, what do you decide to rid yourself of? We often think that we need to  \nstop playing games, listening to music, watching anime, or pursuing hobbies as anything more than something to pass the time in private. We cut out the “excess” and insist that we need to become our most profound selves immediately. Pressure to be first place floods everyone’s mind so those who aren’tcrazed by the same goal are seen as coping with their failure, settling for less because they don’t qualify for a title. What if they weren’t coping as much as they were living in their own happiness? They could be chasing pleasure over pain, building experiences instead of branding themselves in fire, or learning to live above knowing how to die.  \nW  \nThe idea of growing up has been used as ascare tactic by parents and senior authorities for so long that many don’t question it; but it  \ndoesn’t have to be that way. Questioning makes us eliminate who we aren’t and keep who weare. Anyone who has questioned who they are and what it means for them to grow up has, at the very least, found passion somewhere in life. Like most of the modern generation, we have questioned how religious we really are which has led to people cutting out what feels like an obligation. It doesn’t mean removing religion completely, but we only keep the parts that make us feel connected in the way we like. When plants grow, they move toward light and acquire more traits throughout their life before passing them on to their offspring. Whether you decide to have children or not, you still pass traits on to people around you when you express your passions. In life, we must decide if we will be a growing plant or if we will “grow up” into misery.  \nMany people get stuck in the belief that they must create their best work as soon as they  \nPhotographer: Zach Winger • Model: Donna Reed  \nreach their twenties. As kids, we identify with kids our own age and feel spite that someone was able to do karate, play an instrument as well as any recording artist, or that they’re on TV. We get older and continue to do this by looking at people who have let their hobbies become passions that lead them through life. Students in high school do many things, but sometimes they’re recognized for achievements like being the fastest runner, the best woodworker, or the best writer. We latch onto their achievements and find a home in jealousy.  \nWe say we don’t have the same opportunities because of obstacles that make us feel like we’ve fallen so far behind that we may as well  \nnever start. However, people live full lives in as little as 40 years. Finishing high school and pursuing what makes you happy doesn’t even place you at the halfway mark. Some people live as long as 100 years, so being in school until 30 still gives you 70 years to do anything that makes you happy. Without considering money, ask yourself if you like who you are, enjoy what you do, love who you know, and feel fulfilled in how you live. If you feel like you need a change, know that it’s never too late to start because time is our friend when we allow it to be.  \nFor those who see time as their worst enemy, think of actors like Bryan","cbCaih2hNFFh7yGx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaih2hNFFh7yGx","pdf",5007992,1,23,"English","en",105,"# Table of Contents\n## Candid FW23\n## Watered With Love\n## Bright Fucking Red\n## Ru\n## Break Up with Your Anime Girlfriend\n## The Plant Palette\n## The Creative Lockdown\n## Beauty in Permanence\n## Broken Promises\n## Credits","[{\"question\":\"What is the main theme of “Watered With Love” in this issue?\",\"answer\":\"It challenges the idea that “growing up” means giving up games, music, anime, and hobbies.
