sad girl story

There is nothing I hate more than being told I'm resilient, even if it was meant to be a compliment.

Resilience comes from grit, from having to push through and move forward through tough times. If it was up to me, I want to be someone who has never known the feeling of moving through the world with a growing void inside my chest, sucking out all of the energy and happiness in me. A hole that feels massive and bigger than life, something no one else can see. But like my mom always said, you cannot only do things when you're feeling good because you'll end up never getting anything done.

sad girl scents turns 4 today. It’s still quite a small brand and growth has been relatively slow in comparison to my peers. But I made it here when I didn't think I'd even be alive at all.

It’s crazy to think how I was in such a different place when it started and where I am right now. I was unemployed, pining over an ex, and binge-eating the quarantine blues away. Cliche as it may sound, but time (and a lot of hard work) really does wonders.

I’ve put so much of me – all the pain, the grief and loss, the anger, all the burden – into something tangible and beautiful. And now that it’s out there, the weight doesn’t feel as heavy anymore. I call that a successful venture.

I still get a lot of anxiety over new releases or any kind of feedback - it's a humbling experience to accept that I am a work in progress. And I will keep on improving. In this craft and all other facets of my life. At this point, I’m just glad that I can look back at the years I've worked on crafting scents, every release is a new chapter in this diary, and how I've built a community (you!) that supported everything I’ve poured my heart and soul into.

Whatever happens with sad girl scents in the future, this scent is here as a reminder that at a time when I felt like I was at the darkest and lowest point in my life – it was this that kept me afloat. It tethered me to my sanity and helped me be at peace with the emotions that once consumed me. I'm not just a sad girl, I'm a girl with a life worth living for.

'i can do it with a broken heart' is for the sad girls ✨
