(SPOT.ph) Picture this: It's 3 a.m. For a lack of anything better to do, you scroll through Instagram. While doing so, you come across a quote—a heartwrenching one—laid down on a cut-out of a photograph. Time stands still and, after feeling your feelings for a moment, you reshare the quote on your stories. The post is from the Instagram of U.S.-based Filipino artist, photographer, and documentarian Geloy Concepcion under his project, Things You Wanted to Say But Never Did, a safe space for unspoken words and feelings.
From a humble online project in 2019 to evolving into an interactive book of photographs launched last year, the heart-tugging quotes and Geloy's artworks will now take refuge in shirts, totes, and mugs via his merch (and photo studio!) store, Bad Days Are Temporary.

Geloy Concepcion launches a merch store. Check it out.
So far, we spotted tees, sweatshirts, totes, and mugs through a quick glimpse at the store's website.
Inspiring quotes like "Better days ahead" and "Protect your peace at all cost," and colorful art are stamped on everyday items and will essentially remind you that bad days are indeed temporary. The shirt and sweatshirt sizing is up to 5XL.
According to Concepcion's post, his merch can be produced in multiple countries, which will make shipping less expensive and faster. We tried checking out a tee with the "Better days ahead" quote which retails at $25 (approximately P1,406.70) and the "Protect your peace at all cost" tote bag at $25. Economy (6-7 days) delivery takes up $5.
Take a look at Geloy Concepcion's merch:
