MY STORY
Well, here goes nothing. My name is Chandler Gilewski. I started making this story page as BIG and visually pleasing as possible and then suddenly I stopped. I want this page, this website, this brand; most importantly this message to be one of complete transparency. I think in today's world it is easy to get lost in trying to present everything with all the bells and whistles money can buy. However, I decided I don't want my message to get lost. I want transparency to be at the forefront of everything I do.
After battling with depression, addiction, and the struggle to find any sense of belonging and self worth I decided the only way to help myself was to help others. It's the only thing that made me feel purposeful. I am lucky to have had a support system when so many others don't. This is why I'm here, why I am still on this planet, why I created this brand. To create a community that can be leaned upon when you need it.
This is where the idea for HAPPY MORNING was born. We are cultivating a community of people that is here to spread a feeling of self worth and purpose. To spread an all encompassing platform of positivity, passion and sense of belonging. I don't care if you purchase an article or not, I care that you see this brand and feel some sense of worth and belonging. No matter how much you beat yourself down, you are always worthy of continuing this life with love and happiness by your side.
If you are wearing one of our signature pieces, please help us spread this message. Put on our shirt and go have a great damn day, for you are enough to win this world.
One of the biggest issues in the world today is the alarming suicide rates. I want to do my part by providing some resources and helplines for anyone suffering. I understand they're not always perfect, but anything and everything is worth life.
