I Cry Alone In My Truck

This is the shirt that made me want to start a t-shirt company.

Because let's be real—we all know somebody who's been through some stuff. And unfortunately, most men weren't exactly taught to talk about it.

A few months ago, I found myself in a pretty dark place. One of those times where life just keeps piling it on. So I did what a lot of people do...

I sat in my truck.

And cried.

No audience. No judgment. Just me, my thoughts, and about $100 worth of gas—which honestly costs about the same as a therapy session these days.

The funny thing is, I thought I was the only one.

Then I started talking about it.

Turns out, I'm not.

Not even close.

This shirt gets laughs because it's ridiculous. But it also gets nods from people who know exactly what it means. People who've sat in a parking lot a little longer than they needed to. People who've driven around to clear their head. People who've carried more than they let on.

So if you've ever needed a minute... If you've ever felt overwhelmed... If you've ever had a conversation with yourself in the driver's seat...

Welcome to the club.

It's okay to cry. It's okay to talk. And if you happen to do it alone in your truck, you're definitely not the only one. Remember sometimes the check-engine light isn't the only thing that needs attention.
