got it for free at a craft night (they wanted me to turn it into a bag 👎👎👎). best clothing i never bought stg. i would wear this tshirt all the time with skirts and boots and jeans and sandals. it’s my everything.
i made the mistake of wearing it to a dogsitting job where one of them jumped up on me and got his claw stuck in one of the holes. he tore it right down the center, and now it is gaping and unsalvageable. my attachment to her has forced me to keep her in my drawer, unwearable and tattered, next to other options that just could never be rocked in the same way.

this shirt is my favourite piece of clothing! the colour makes my eyes pop, its my perfect gender expression, it has a pocket! i got it the first time I ever slept with my ex, they let me borrow it for the ride home but when i went to give it back the next time they told me I could keep it cos “it looked better” on me. my ex and I remained friends post break up, but now they live in mexico low key off the grid so I miss them and this shirt makes me feel connected to them. I once came home from hanging with my friend in the park cos I spilled falafel on the shirt and HAD TO run home to immediately soak the stain out. couldn’t live with idea that I’d ruined it with my clumsy falafel eating… luckily I salvaged it :)))

I don't know if other people did this, but during the 2020 quarantine (and in the subsequent years when we didn't see many people) I stopped wearing my "cool" t-shirts. The ones with art prints on them, my favorite band tees, etc. Subconsciously, I figured, "If nobody is going to be able to see or appreciate them, why wear them out? I might as well wait until we start socializing again."
So instead of those, I mainly wore a bunch of plain white t-shirts. One in particular fell apart more quickly than the rest. The neck started stretching out and fraying and a couple of pinholes opened up on the front. Food stains accumulated from countless meals we cooked over the past few years... It slowly became a beautiful dissolving tapestry.
Now I find myself gravitating toward that particular ratty shirt because it has become a symbol of perseverance through an unfathomable time. Since I started wearing it, a pandemic happened, I became a dad, loved ones were lost, new friends were made, a boat got stuck in the Suez Canal, I made a significant body of artwork, we watched the Sopranos for the first time, jobs changed, we watched Community for the 4th time, and I witnessed the best and the worst of humanity at extremes that I had never witnessed in my life prior. Anyway, I think it's made by Hanes.
Sad Update: The shirt may have ended up in the throwaway pile during a recent drawer clean out. A lesson in the consequences of becoming attached to worldly possessions, the impermanence of everything, entropy, et al. Pictured instead are two other surviving shirts from the same multi-pack. They have both lived equally storied lives, so they deserve to be held in the same regard and shall also be worn until ragged!

even if shit continues to hit the fan, pretty much everyone ends up exactly where they’re supposed to be. you will find a place to live, a job, a lover, friends, etc. just keep going and it will be ok.
