EVERYDAYLIFEFuel.I don’t know how I would get throughthe day without caffeine. Every day is abattle with fatigue and I really struggleto fight it. My morning coffee gentlymotivates me to tackle the day.It helps me survive work when Icrash and my energy levels are zero.This simple cup symbolises the everincreasingbags under my eyes.28
EVERYDAYLIFEThe Seat.This is where you can find me, curled up with my hot water bottle andblanket. The days where I am in too much pain to move, the recovery timeafter my operation, and generally most evenings since my endometriosis tookhold. I spend most of my time here.This symbolises the paradox of comfort and pain. It also reflects theconfinement endometriosis has brought to my life.29
