OUR STORY

Life Sucks™ started with one simple truth: pretending to have it all together is exhausting. I was tired of fake smiles, tired of keeping it “cute” when inside felt like chaos.

What began as late-night journaling and way too much iced coffee turned into a movement, a reminder that even when life feels like a dumpster fire, there’s still magic in the mess.

Because let’s be real, life throws hands.

Heartbreak? Been there. Burnout? Yep. Bills, anxiety, or just waking up on the wrong side of existence? Absolutely. But even in all of that, there’s something powerful about showing up anyway, laughing, crying, thriving (or just surviving) with style.

Life Sucks™ is for the people who feel it all but still make space for joy. The ones who’ve been through it, but refuse to let it kill their vibe.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need to be perfect. You can be a mess and still be magic. Life sucks sometimes but you’re still vibing. And that’s beautiful.
