For chronically creative souls.

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, adventerous 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.

Someone commented recently that since I’m “chronically ill” I might want to try “eating a healthy diet.” And honestly, comments like that say a lot more about our culture than they do about my health. The assumption be
