10 years ago, we chose the hard way.  The world doesn’t need more brands or products filling up space.  It needs brands willing to stand for something.

So we choose the friction.  The risk.  The ideas that make people feel something.

The work that changes things usually makes people uncomfortable first. 

The hard way leaves a mark.  Here’s to the next 10 years of Riot choosing the hard way.

Thanks to our clients and our team members for getting Riot to the 10-year mark. We wouldn’t be here without all of you.

My dad asked me to read him something this morning, he was in a hard place with his pain and we were trying to find something comforting to settle him down so I found an old blog post and loved reading it so much, it felt like something I wanted to share again. So here it is, I hope you enjoy it today too 💛

The whole reason why I started this blog was to help remind myself why I’m living the life that I do. Once or twice a year, I start to falter in my conviction and second-guess my lifestyle choices. In fact, one of those times is occurring right now. I panic, I can’t sleep well at night, I feel anxious for no apparent reason. It’s usually coupled with a significant lack of money, which either spurs on my anxiety even further or is the main trigger to it. I usually accompany it with an intense desire to go shopping and purchase a whole new wardrobe- that feeling of needing to reinvent myself kicking in hard.

What saves me are my friends. I’m pretty sure I’d be on 1,000’s of different medications if I didn’t have friends. I think a lot, probably too much (hence the reason I can’t smoke weed- more thoughts and reduced ability to talk? No thanks). It begins with a choice, something I have to decide. My mind will start racing in a circle, going over the options and every possible outcome over, and over, and over until I’ve literally paced in a circle, picking the same three things up and setting them down again and again. The thing I’ve learned that saves me is an interaction with another person. As soon as I engage with someone, I’m free. My mind sits back, relaxes, and no longer cares about the 20 various hypothetical consequences of wearing shoes versus sandals to walk to the corner store.

My brain helps me out a lot, and all of the thinking it goes through has pushed me to do more in my life than I ever thought possible. But what’s really made my life possible are my friends. From inviting me out on trips, to finding a new drink at a bar to merely hanging out and pulling me out of my head- friends are the most important thing I’ve gained throughout my life. So, thanks friends. You’re awesome.

My 20s: Gone but not forgotten. But we DID forget the piñata. 🪦
