Yet here I am at the age of 29 having a hard time doing anything without my partner.
I am of course referencing the long-term relationship I am in with my own bathroom.
I have had Inflammatory Bowel Disease, ie Crohns Disease for 20 years now.
It took me over a year to fully recover from it where most of that year was spent bedridden.
My bathroom needs are barely apparent to myself sometimes, because honestly so many of my days are different.
I am not alone in this relationship status, nor with the issues relating to bathroom needs.
The IBD community lives on the same spectrum of unpredictable urgency days or the opposite side of being constipated.
This summer has not been helpful for me trying to grow outside of this relationship.
Lines, out of order signs, no poo-pouri, or only one toilet available.
I have been convinced I will never get out of this relationship.
I have promised myself I will keep fighting for equality until all bathrooms feel like my own relationship.
Humans should not have to fear not finding a place to do what we all dopoop.
