Asj's Story
Hi *awkward nervous laugh* I'm Asj! I can't even begin to tell you how crazy it is to be here and how THANKFUL I am to have you here with me. I started Menty during one of the lowest points in my life. After loosing my mind, my self worth, and almost my life... I knew something had to change.
Super crazy and very long story short; I was always the person to hide what I was going through while keeping a smile on my face just to get through the day. Well let me tell you... whether it's intentional or a slip up when you least expect it... it. will. come. out.
I began to realize that the main reason I felt the need to hide was because I felt ashamed for going through things and dealing with real life problems, at such a young age instead of being able to let loose, be free and REALLY have fun like everyone else around me. But, sometimes those are just the cards that life deals. I finally accepted it, decided it wasn't going to define me, and made the active choice to get some help. So, after about a year of therapy and working through most of my deepest traumas; I realized that if I felt this way, there was no way in hell I could be the only one and I refuse to let anyone out there struggling think they're alone.
A light bulb went off and BOOM Menty Tee Co. was born.
I'm spreading the word on just how common mental health issues are and I'm doing that the best way I know how. By creating and wearing designs to say exactly what we're going though & how we're feeling even when we don't have the words or strength to ourselves. It's time wear them proudly, be in your mood, and look cute while doing it.
Always remember, you're not alone in this. We are 120+ Menty Babes strong so far and guess what; every single one of us has a lil somethin' somethin' going on up there in the membrane these days. hahaha
I LOVE YOU so much!
XOXO, Asj 💘🦢
