I’m not interested in being the hero. I’m no longer okay with pretending to be okay so that everyone else can feel okay. I’m no longer subscribing to a society that expects nothing less than exceptional and tells us to suffer for success. Lastly, I refuse to be the underdog of my own story — the one who, despite all odds, continues to push through the pain in pursuit of achievement. I’m tired. If you’re reading this, I’ll assume you’re tired, too.

Becoming Type C is about learning how to live when life slows you down without asking.

This space explores the reality of chronic illness — the grief, the recalibration, and the quiet work of accepting a new body and life you didn’t choose (and likely didn’t want). It’s about unlearning productivity as a badge for self-worth, recognizing that caring for your health is a full-time job, and slowly discovering that a smaller, slower life can still be whole and meaningful. Over time, it’s about noticing unexpected shifts within loneliness: more reflection, clearer priorities, simpler joy, and a growing sense that I matter — not for what I produce, but for who I am.
