Each and every one of us puts in all the energy and time we can in our free time. We also struggle with personal challenges, have to make a living, juggle our own illnesses, family and friends, private obligations and needs as well as our everyday lives.
We always try to take good care of ourselves – because we know how important it is and because we want to be a role model. Our aim is to make a lasting and enjoyable impact without overburdening ourselves. Because we can only be there for others if we take good care of ourselves. <\/p>\n
There is so much to do. We are working on many issues at the same time, campaigning for change, fighting for visibility, education and support for endometriosis and our association. But we are not infinitely resilient. We can’t achieve everything we want or what the community hopes for. And that’s okay. We don’t aim to please everyone – because our focus is on making a lasting difference without losing ourselves in the process. <\/p>\n
What drives us? The small and large signs that our work makes a difference and is appreciated. Every positive response, every like, every message that says: “Thank you for your work”, every donation, no matter how small, to support our actions. This gives us strength and motivation and shows us that our efforts count! <\/p>\n
Thank you for being here! \ud83d\udc9b<\/p>\n
