\"A<\/figure>\n

What do you miss? Who do you long for? What lies buried in the past that you wish you could reclaim?<\/p>\n

We\u2019re calling this\u00a0the Wayback Issue<\/strong>, a space where past and present collide, a place to rest in restlessness. Give us your take on wayward youth and liminal adolescence. Throw some light time travel our way. Don\u2019t be afraid to get a little speculative, a little retro, a little sci-fi. Revise history \u2014 new endings most welcome. Tell us about your firsts, your lasts, your just-can\u2019t-get-you-out-of-my-heads.<\/p>\n

Show us the dark side of nostalgia, all its risks and rewards. There\u2019s a danger to romanticizing the past, and we\u2019re interested in that too \u2014 the ways that wistfulness can poison and uplift in equal measure. Tell us: If you lose yourself to the bygone entirely, can you still find your way back? But also: What\u00a0don\u2019t<\/em>\u00a0you want to go back to? What do you wish could be left behind?<\/p>\n

Lay down your burdens, your unwrittens, your words waiting patiently with their hands raised high, willing themselves to be called on. For the next issue of\u00a0Longleaf<\/em>, we\u2019ll read it all.<\/p>\n
