PSA: u did more than u thought

Preface before the blog:
After a whole year of navigating the growth of the brand, I had to take a step back to really remember what DRMERS is all about. Yes, we can be fun on socials by speaking to u like a friend… yes, we also make very nice clothes… and yes, we can be creative and do fun storytelling campaigns.

But that's not enough to encompass how special DRMERS CLUB was meant to be. I don't want us to just be another "cool clothing brand." I want us to create a net positive in the world by finding a way to inspire ppl who come in contact with the brand.

So we’re back to writing here. We hope this section on our website can be the voice for all the thoughts + feelings we’ve been wanting to share with our community.

Lately I keep hearing people talk about what they didn’t do this year. 

What they didn’t accomplish, what didn’t happen, what they wish they pushed themselves to do.

“I should’ve started that business."
“I should be at a different stage in life.”
“Why didn’t I just go for it?”

It’s so easy to look at the year and instantly feel behind. But honestly, after surviving my own long ass year.....I see it a little differently.

Maybe instead of only counting the things that happened or should’ve happened—what if u just think about how u’ve grown as a person?

Now take a look back with a different lens.

Through even the most mundane days…u probably picked up things, u learned things, u survived things, u let go of things.

There’s a 100000% chance that u are a different person than u were last December (and to me, that’s pretty huge).

For me personally, when I look back at who I was 12 months ago… I perceived things pretty differently. I reacted to things very differently. Things that I thought were so ginormously big feel a bit smaller now. I’ve grown inner confidence through challenges and failures this year. I’ve also learned that I’m allowed to be myself, which then translated to the brand finally finding who it truly is as well.

Of course, I do think it’s good to give urself credit for tangible things u’ve done.

Maybe u saw family more or planned a vacation with friends. 
Maybe u got an A on that exam u thought u botched.
Maybe u got a nice promotion or landed ur dream internship.
Maybe u visited a new country.
Maybe u finally made ur first post on socials.
Maybe u DID start that business.

But here’s my challenge to u: find 3 changes u’ve noticed within urself this year that reflect who u are becoming.

Remember any moments where u used strength u didn’t know u had?
Notice any old mindsets u quietly outgrew without realizing?
Any boundaries u set that the old u wouldn’t have??
Did ur perspective shift, even in small ways?? 

...Maybe even thinking back on those hard days, and giving urself credit for the person u simply showed up as. 

See? I told u that u did do more than u thought this year ;)
