In the fall of 2024, I moved out of state for college. For the first time, I was away from the people I loved most, and that distance made me reflect. I realized that even though I missed my friends and family, I couldn’t think of a recent memory I had truly shared with them. The reason was painfully clear: I had been so absorbed in my phone that I let those everyday moments slip by, moments that could have become memories I’d carry with me forever.

 

Sitting alone in my dorm room, I began to rethink the way I was living. That’s when it hit me: memories are like echoes of your life. Each one reverberates through time, shaping your legacy and surrounding you as you move forward. They’re always there to return to—especially in moments of struggle or reflection.

 

From that revelation, Echoes of Life was born. I started sketching logo ideas and experimenting with designs. When I wrote the words “Echoes of Life” in cursive, I noticed something special—the “of,” when turned sideways, resembled a person reminiscing, chin resting on their hand. It was a sign that this was meant to be.

 

Over the next year, I poured myself into the brand—creating hopecore videos, testing the strength of the mission, prototyping websites, and building a foundation for what I wanted this movement to become. Now, after all the experimenting and late-night ideas, it’s time to share it with the world.
