Some people dread small talk. Some love it. Issue 03 explores the theme in all its forms, from awkward and intimidating to funny and tender. It romanticises this universal experience as a reminder to treat our daily interactions with more care and intention. Half the people we know now, or who matter in our lives, started with one small sentence. So, do we love small talk, or do we dread it?
