Good on Paper:
The life that looks stable, successful, and approved
but doesn’t feel like yours.
I write about why we build lives that look right but feel wrong.
What “Good on Paper”
Really Means
A life that feels safe.
Impressive.
It often looks like:
A marriage that’s stable but disconnected.
A career that pays well but drains you.
A business that scales but steals your peace.
A life that looks impressive but feels heavy.
Why We Stay
• Fear of instability
• Fear of financial collapse
• Fear of starting over
• Fear of disappointing people
• Fear of looking stupid/dumb/like you failed/insert negative belief
If This Resonates
I explore this tension weekly through essays, reflections, and lived experience.
If you’ve ever felt successful but unsettled, you’re in the right place.
I once built a life that looked right.
Then I had to decide whether stability was worth the cost.
Now I write about what that decision really means.
