Less Polite originally emerged in 2021 during a haze of grief and depression, fueled by a desperate need to break away from the corporate mold. I watched as my very own creations were shipped all across the country - humans I didn't even know spending their hard earned money on my brain vomit. It warmed my heart and opened my mind to the endless possibilities, the potential, and honestly, it kind of terrified me. So for these reasons, along with a handful of others (Etsy sucks, working full time sucks, actively being a human being...you guessed it...sucks) LP laid down for a nice long nap in 2022. It was tough to put down something that brought me so much joy. I felt like I had disappointed the people who believed in me. But stepping away for the moment was the right decision while I figured things out.

Thanks to people continuing to believe in me - even without LP - I've had some really awesome experiences the past few years. I've made connections to friends that became family, folded hundreds of origami flowers for a wedding, and started pursuing things that make me feel like ME. I realized life is too short to let fear decide your fate, so here we are, back from the dead in 2024.

Let's get real weird with it.
