At 16 I got a job in a sportshop, it's probably the first time I was exposed to clothes... later that year I got a better paying job in sixth form, I started buying my own clothes, started thrifting... At 17, lock down happened, as I was a "keyworker" I picked up more hours, but I was also venturing into more experimental and abstract pieces - acid washes, tie dyes, pink joggers, mixed camo jumpers - a skater / gbc vibe... When I was 19 years old - I dropped a clothing brand with my friend, we got 2 sales on some balaclavas and made a net loss of about £120/$150.

At 20, just before I started the betterself movement, I was buying and selling vintage nike jumpers on depop, I bought on vinted - sold on depop. I sold a decent amount of clothes in general. Now at 22 I'm going into my actual clothing line, I have so many ideas, maybe some not merch appropriate but man I'm gonna make so much. These t-shirts are a piece of me, more than the page, they pay homage to the years are reckless purchases, I bought some really random stuff but man I felt awesome.

As of today, 10/11/2025 - to the Taylor of the future, I hope you took this somewhere. I hope you haven't quit, & if you're reading this whilst in a quitting phase, I want you to start again. You are one of the greats, you've known this from early, this is a way to prove it. Also pick up that guitar & go to mma again. Don't be so hooked on money, more impact yeah? don't store your money here, get a mustang, a harley & a cabin, that's it, USE THE REST, I love you, I'm doing this for you.
