They Forgot to Water Us. We Grew Anyway.

Sometimes life leaves you dry.
No handouts. No encouragement. No love poured in.
Just silence. Just struggle. Just the weight of being overlooked.

But somehow, we still grew.
We cracked through concrete. We learned how to stretch toward light that wasn’t even offered to us. We carried our own storms, made our own rain, and still managed to bloom.

This collection celebrates resilience — honoring those who’ve created their own light, nurtured their own growth, and bloomed in spaces not built for them.⁠
