Initial Concept
I wanted to create a design centering around the fact that you are loved more than you may ever know. (It’s true, you are!)
Design Process
I started with the heart shape and filled the words in to create the final design. It took a few tries and some editing to arrange the words in a way that I liked. Once I drew the “L” for the point at the bottom, the rest of the design fell into place!
The original front design for these sweatshirts said “you deserve healthy love,” which I later removed because, while it is an important sentiment, I wanted to clarify that the kind of love I was talking about wasn’t necessarily romantic in nature. Rather, this was a reminder that you are inherently valuable and it’s important that you’re around.
Part of My Story
Throughout my life I have struggled with feeling unlovable because I didn’t believe that I had inherent value or worth. Spoiler alert - I do, and you do too! One of the best lessons I’ve learned is that the right people will never make you feel like you are hard to love, and I hope that everyone can find a support system, but that also begins with you.
The way that you treat yourself - with love, respect, and kindness - will teach others how they are allowed to treat you!
Don’t Forget!
You are loved more than you may ever know, and you deserve love from yourself above everything!
