Sometimes, what scares us just needs to be seen with different eyes.

This image was captured in Thailand, along the Giant Trees Alley in Chiang Dao, during a quiet bike ride through a tunnel of towering green. As I pedaled beneath the filtered sunlight and swaying branches, I suddenly noticed a strange, beautiful creature both mesmerizing and unsettling.

It was a Giant Golden Orb Weaver (Nephila pilipes), suspended in mid-air like a guardian spirit of the forest.

I’ve always been afraid of spiders. But in that still moment, softened by the rhythm of travel and a sense of openness, I saw something else. Not a threat—just a presence. Quiet. Natural. Peaceful.
It wasn’t doing anything wrong. It was just… being.

This tee is a tribute to that moment of understanding.
To my fears.
To the things I don’t fully get.
And most importantly to myself.

“Being Myself Is Not Something Bad” isn’t just a title it’s a reminder. That even if we’re strange, anxious, imperfect, or don’t quite fit in, we still have a place in this world.
Just like that spider, floating between two giant trees, completely at peace in its own skin.
