The Lonely Stoner Show isn’t just some brand; it’s literally my life story.
Everyone has felt sad, but feeling the overwhelming weight of despair and depression is a drastically different experience.
In 2021, I was bi-polaring pretty hard but then I lost my job, all my money and then the most significant relationship in my life at the time was shattered.
I realized it would probably be my mom who would find me. That seemed selfish and cruel so I decided if I was going to stay alive, I was going to have a good life.
With no prior experience in design, clothing, or e-commerce after a 3 day binge of ketamine I decided to create and sell hoodies that would integrate my life experiences within the designs. I would be able to take all the bad and use it for good. I wanted to take the bad that I could feel, pressing down on my chest, and use it to survive.
I had never used a MacBook. I had never used any of the Adobe suite. I just went on YouTube and started watching videos.
I have created over 2,000 designs and three websites. They were all very bad. I spent thousands of hours trying to make this work.
Two years have passed since I started and I haven't given up, and my skill set has only grown stronger. My video editing has drastically improved as well as my digital design abilities. When I decided to stay alive, I wanted to design hoodies. It looks like I will keep trying until I win or I die.
When you wear my hoodies I hope you remember that their design is from a regular person like you.
You can create the life that you want too.
