Everything you need to know about ysdwysd.
Jawhar Stokes was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer called ASPS (Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma). This type of cancer affects children UNDER 18. There is currently no cure for ASPS. A battle was established between Jawhar and this rare cancer up until his passing on the day after his 19th birthday. Jawhar never stopped dreaming and coined the term, “You Start Dying When You Stop Dreaming.”
YSDWYSD’s is not only a blog, it’s a movement. Its purpose is to encourage the youth to never stop dreaming by providing content, events, and clothing for the youth generation.

The Logo?
The ysdwysd logo was made to get people to think outside the box. It can be depicted in many ways. If you look closely, you may see an ink-blob (dreaming) or even an x-ray (dying). It is whatever you depict it to be. You start dying when you stop dreaming.
We are the future!
You start dying when you stop dreaming.
