 PinchPunk   SURF     SKATE     ZEN

Falling hurts and some injuries take longer to heal than others (that's why good protective gear is important LoL). I related physical pain to mental pain like depression, heartache, and grieving. When you have a bruise or a scrape from hitting the pavement, it hurts, you take care of it and after awhile it heals. The difference is that you can watch it heal and you can see the stages of healing whereas you can't see mental pain and no one else around can either. 

Therapy is expensive and even the "affordable" therapy apps are not budget friendly, so most people forget about it. The thing is, having a professional therapist to talk to on a regular basis helps alot, it helped me. 

Skating also became a kind of therapy for me. I’ll never claim to be at pro level or anything close,  I’m mediocre at best and I’m cool with that. SKATING and SURFING combined with some ZEN activities like yoga, footbag (hacky sack) and hikes in nature has been one of the best forms of free therapy I never knew I needed. 

School was rough, I got bullied and when I would stand up for myself or call out others for injustice then all of a sudden I was called the bully. Kids can be mean and so can adults. It all stems from somewhere and so many of us are unconscious of how life traumas affect us and how we then project that on to others. Healing starts within and forgiveness is the first step. We need to forgive those who hurt us and know they're hurting too. We need to forgive ourselves. It dosent mean we have to subject ourselves to verbal and physical abuse, it's always best to walk away and remove yourself from such toxic people. We can forgive energetically. We all need to just focus on healing ourselves and trust that by doing so things will get better within and around us. 

I started PinchPunk to remind people to be kinder to one another and focus on healing themselves, to work through their pain and not give up. PinchPunk is a brand that believes in healing that inner punk so we can become a badass at life. 

For every purchase , PinchPunk will donate $1.00 to a savings fund to start a non profit who's mission will be to help people pay for therapy. 

 We humans can do better, live better and treat each other better.
