We want your true stories about your loss of innocence. Have you ever asked, “is that all there is?” When did you first realize that you were no longer a child? What happened to make you realize that life wasn’t always beautiful, and how did you handle it? When did you lose your romantic notions of fairytale love? What happened to change the way you view the world? Each of us has a moment or experience that changed everything and you may have a story that we want to publish.
