“What
is a Type K?” you ask? And are you one of them? (Hopefully by the end of this
article you’re wanting to become one.) We all know of those anxious Type A’s
who are highly organized, task-oriented, and prized for their left-brained,
analytical abilities. And we are well aware of those infamous Type Z’zzzz whom
society chastises for “going with the flow”, oftentimes following an
unstructured lifestyle that caters to their creative impulses. I envision the
Type K as a grand master sensei that balances the best of both worlds— he
maintains his feet on the ground and his head in the clouds. This is his ideal
equilibrium, the natural resting point that follows his core tenets:
The Type K’s Tenets
Pursuing goals does not have to entrap us in a rat race of self-negation and self-loathing. Even our focus on personal development can leave us mired with the notion that we are not good enough, that we need to experience public victories to feel worthy or do things to feel “more enlightened”. And sometimes we need life to kick our own a**** to grow and snap out it. But we don’t need to see a prude, wide-eyed secretary evaluating us when we retreat into introspection.
1. I am love.
2. Loving life expands my world.
3. My expansion depends on whether I choose or refuse to love.

Who Am I?
I’m a
young adult who finds herself in the abyss & bliss of quarter life crisis,
attempting to sort out the difference between childishness and having a free
spirit. I am reviewing a year’s worth of journaling to re-learn the material
that made an impact on my well being and hopefully contribute to somebody’s
growth in the process by recommending the talks and books that helped me develop and love myself more. I’ve attempted to grow from straight willpower (a Type A
approach) and pure positive thinking (a Type Z pitfall) and failed. My primary purpose is to feel comfortable
knowing that I’m perfectly imperfect and complete in my incompleteness. My goal
is curate information that nurtures a Type K’s natural approach to growth and get
in touch with people who feel the same way. Please feel
