Founder struggle I didn’t choose- behind the scenes.

The only thing that truly limits my output as a founder right now isn’t time, money, or skill- it’s my vision. Literally. 👁️🫠

I’ve been dealing with a progressive cornea issue, which means my workday is built around:

• constant forced breaks
• focus resets
• squeezing high quality work into shorter windows.
• not knowing what the next day looks or feels like

Not ideal when you’re building something in a highly competitive space.

It’s frustrating. It slows momentum. It adds friction to everything everyday…

But here’s the reality i refuse to overlook. I can still build, ship, think clearly.

Not at full capacity, or without friction. With glasses, 125%+ zoom, and whatever adjustments I can hack together, I’m still in the game..

I’ve never shared this publicly because I thought I will be judged or be asked to quit, but I'm sharing this for one reason.

Founder life isn’t glamorous as you see online. it’s chaos, constraint, and showing up anyway. I’m just learning to find consistency and peace inside that mess.

And I’m genuinely grateful this limitation hasn’t turned into an excuse to quit.

If this post pushes even one person to keep going & stay grateful, then it was worth sharing.
