Life, Loss, and the Journey Back to Reselling


 



Life doesn’t always go as planned. No matter how much we schedule, set goals, and prepare, sometimes life throws something at us that changes everything. For me, that moment came when I lost my grandma.

Grief has a way of pausing everything. It makes you step back, breathe, and reevaluate what truly matters. For a while, my reselling business took a backseat. There were days when I couldn’t think about listing new items or shipping orders because my heart was too heavy. And that’s okay. Because in those moments, I was exactly where I needed to be—with my family, remembering, grieving, and celebrating the woman who helped shape my life.

As I start easing back into my business, I’m reminded of why I started reselling in the first place. It was never just about selling clothes—it was about giving items a second life, reducing waste, and making fashion more sustainable. And in a way, that connects deeply to the memories we keep of those we love. Just like how a well-loved sweater carries the warmth of its past, the people we cherish leave imprints that never fade.

This journey back to reselling feels different now. It’s not just about making sales; it’s about being intentional—about the time I spend with my family, the legacy I want to build, and the impact I want to have on the planet. If you’ve ever had to step away from something you love, whether it’s a business, a hobby, or a dream, know that it’s okay. Life is about seasons, and sometimes, stepping back is the most important thing we can do.

So here I am, returning to what I love, with a new perspective. If you’ve been following my journey, thank you for sticking around. If you’re new here, welcome. Let’s keep making secondhand fashion something meaningful—because life is about cherishing what matters, both in the clothes we wear and the people we hold close.
