ANCIENT EGYPT

CHRONIC- ILLNESS

Welcome to The Chronicles — a space where I share what I’ve learned from living in a chronically ill body, and how creativity, curiosity, and slower adventures can still shape a full life.

Here you’ll find practical advice on navigating endometriosis and chronic illness, travel tips from some of the most beautiful places I’ve explored (at a slower pace), and creative reflections that make space for low-energy days. I also share the occasional excerpt from my A+ ancient Egypt essays (yes, actually graded), alongside thoughts on history, storytelling, and what ruins, rest, and reinvention can teach us about resilience.

Think of it as trail notes from a chronic body — part guide, part story, part gentle reminder that adventure, creativity, and meaning don’t disappear when life slows down.

How do you love your body when it hurts? When it’s exhausted all the time. When it doesn’t function the way it used to. When medications, surgeries, inflammation, or chronic pain have changed the way it looks and feels. The internet lov
I didn’t choose to become an expert in my own illness. I had to. Because when you live with endometriosis, you quickly realise something confronting: Many doctors and medical professionals don’t actually know what it is, how it works, o
For the past few months I’ve been filling out survey questions for @endometriosisnewzealand Endometriosis New Zealand research. This month the questions were about “The Impact of Interactions with Medical Practitioners on Endometriosis J
