Please Stay Around™ was born in one of the darkest moments of my life.

I was in a place where everything felt heavy. The pain, the silence, the thoughts. It all became too much. I was ready to give up. But then, in what felt like a quiet moment of fate, I saw a bumper sticker that said: “Life is too short to be unhappy”.

It was a simple message. Nothing loud or dramatic. But for some reason, it stuck with me. It made me pause and think about something other than the darkness I was drowning in. That one sentence made me consider the possibility that maybe I hadn’t seen the best parts of life yet.

That moment didn’t take the pain away. But it gave me something to hold onto. A reason to stay. And sometimes, that’s enough.

Please Stay Around™ is the result of that experience. It’s not just a brand. It’s a message. A reminder for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed, unseen, or alone. A way to say, I’ve been there. I see you. You matter.

Every piece is hand-drawn by me and pressed by hand. This isn’t fast fashion. It’s made with intention, care, and heart. I want every item to carry that same energy. Something that feels real and personal.

The goal is simple. To create high-quality clothing that uplifts, encourages, and starts conversations. To take something as everyday as a t-shirt and turn it into something powerful.

Because I know what it’s like to need that one message at the right time. And now, I want to be that message for someone else.

Join the PSA™ movement. Wear the hope. Share the message. And Please Stay Around.
