Issue 4 is about chasing your identity—have you gotten to the crux of who you are, and who you want to be, and are you satisfied with it? The phrase ‘Cloud 9’ is typically used to describe the feeling of being in complete happiness.
3^2 up explores too different meanings that tie in together: How can you feel beyond “cloud 9” by being a 9/10? We push and pull ourselves to fit into certain moulds, and when we aren’t society’s 10/10, sometimes we’re too tired to shape ourselves any other way. 3^2 UP is an issue that celebrates achieving a standard that you’re happy with, a person that you are content with.
