Mental health is an increasingly prominent issue that cannot be overstated. We have witnessed the daily struggles of those close to us, as well as our own internal battles. The defining moment that inspired our mission came during a profound and seemingly endless bout with depression, followed by the devastating loss of a twin brother.
During his funeral service, one thing became undeniably clear: the overwhelmingly positive impact he had on everyone in attendance. He was praised for his kindness—whether assisting the elderly or offering guidance to young people, despite being young himself. His positivity and acceptance of others made him deeply endearing, even as he quietly faced his own dark challenges.
Tragically, his struggle with addiction ended his life far too soon, but in his short time here, he was a genuine beacon of light to many. Reflecting on his life, we chose to adopt his attitude of positivity and acceptance, choosing gratitude over complaining. That shift transformed our lives for the better—and it was only the beginning of our journey.
Today, we live by his principles and encourage others to do the same. At Defy Threads, we believe one person can make a meaningful difference. Our goal is to be a light in the darkness wherever it exists, to inspire emotional resilience, and to promote mental wellness and positivity through every piece we create.
