We all carry emotional baggage. Smiling though hard days. Saying “I am fine” when we are not. Performing “okay”ness because that is what we learned to do.

Smitha Murthy created this canvas tote bag because she knows what it is like to carry weight no one can see. Living with ADHD and C-PTSD, Smitha understands the exhaustion of performing normalcy. This tote bag from MyndStories is made for the days when you are too tired to pretend. When you do not have the energy to explain, but also do not want to hide. Just saying the quiet part out loud.

This is not about broadcasting or performing your struggles. It is about refusing to apologize for being a whole person - carrying their own baggage of emotions. A person who is messy, complicated, still figuring it out.

Use it for whatever you need to carry today. Laptop. Books. Groceries. Made from 100% durable canvas fabric in a soft beige tone, it is built to hold all - and the weight of everything else that no one asks about.

Carry it as a reminder. That you are not alone.You never were 🙂
