“Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.”
Anaïs Nin

by Cristina Frasca

In an overwhelming and chaotic world like the one we live in, we often lose the sense of time. Sometimes we stop to take stock, understand the direction but then we re-immerse ourselves in the frenzy of life. So I hadn’t fully realized that we have reached the thirtieth issue of LYF.

30 issues is a significant achievement for a magazine like ours.
I see them there, on my bookshelf, each issue represents an incredible journey through ideas, passions, reflections, connections, art, culture and, in some way, life experiences. The word that can summarize this editorial experience is Ecstasy, understood not only as a mystical or spiritual state, but as a deep involvement and ability to elevate oneself through the power of words and images.
A magazine, if well made, is a door that opens the mind and heart to new worlds, new perspectives. Each issue reflects a theme, an emotion, a message that becomes a journey in which you get lost and rediscover yourself, as it happens in any ecstatic experience. Thirty chapters of an evolving story, a narration in which each issue represents a stage of growth, exploration and transformation. In this context, ecstasy is a true form of creative revelation, in which ideas take shape and acquire a life of their own.
