Something heavy. Something no one clapped for.
Maybe it’s grief. Regret. A name you’re trying to rebuild.

I know that weight.
I’ve carried it in silence. In addiction. In a house full of chaos and a heart full of questions.
I’ve been the strong one. The dependable one. The one they all leaned on — even when I was breaking inside.

And then I became a father.

I held her. My daughter. And I made a vow:

“I bear it, so she never will.”

That vow became my life’s work.
It became this brand. This fire. This system. This legacy.
Not to sell candles. Not to drop whiskey.
But to build an inheritance of healing — sealed in wax, rooted in presence, and born in the ashes of everything I had to overcome.

If you’re here, maybe you’re like me.
Maybe you’re not trying to impress anyone anymore.
Maybe you’re just trying to show up — more grounded, more honest, more whole — for the ones who need you.

Whether you came here for a ritual, a product, or just a quiet moment that smells like peace —
You’re in the right place.

You’re not too broken.
You’re not too far gone.
And you’re not alone anymore.

Welcome to Grain & Glass.
Welcome to the fire.
