CEO Story & Concept For Our Brand Misunderstood Loners
- Growing up as a kid, I was always quiet and stayed out the way. I never bothered anybody. I did what I was told and I respected my elders. But as much as that sounds good and all, I never talked about the pain and struggle it was growing up as a child. Being a loner came with a lot. Being picked on, people saying I’m weird and being labeled as slow because I didn’t say as much as others. Even not being able to fit in with the rest of the crowd. So I started to become depressed thinking something was wrong with me. Or Why no one understands me and that came with anger building up inside of me because I didn’t know how to express myself. So I held a lot in because I was so shy. So as I got older I began turning into someone that I wasn’t and began doing things just to fit in with the crowd. I surrounded myself with anybody just to feel like I had friends and to be wanted but the longer I pretended to be someone I’m not it began to get old. After I got into an incident at school, God opened my eyes to show me what he was actually trying to get me to see. Which was, people who I thought were my friends, laughed at me and called me dumb for the things I did. And as I got older and wiser, I also realized that God was trying to show me that it’s ok for people not to understand you. God made everyone different in there own unique way, but it’s up to you to have confidence in yourself and believe in yourself. Never feel bad because you don’t fit in or if your not like everyone else. I learned to be myself, be comfortable in my own skin and to be different because God didn’t make everyone the same. With those life lessons, that was how I came up with Misunderstood Loners. And now instead of being afraid to speak about it, I wanted to turn it into something positive and something that I can reach out to anyone else who feels misunderstood or even a loner. I want to let them know that there’s always a positive in something that they may think is bad. It’s just how they decide to deal with their ability to be different and stand out in their own way.
