cw: sexual assault. This past week was utter shit. And then I remembered that November is the anniversary of my death. A metaphorical one, albeit, but when you’re a middle-aged feminist falling apart, metaphor is a sequin jacket you wear when you write because the sparkles are like stars that brighten your dark night.
My heart. Reaching out to yours with so much love. Your journey --I am so sorry for the assaults, the horror and the violence. Perimenopause and your future--it's going to continue to be amazing. Menopause and all its parts is truly a WTF situation. It's adolescence all over again, and yet, and yet, it is a fantastic new beginning. Yes, the body starts being, shall we say, uncooperative, but oh the power you will feel as you age! I am going to be 63 in a week or so, and I am embracing this powerful time when I can be the woman I always wanted to be. I have learned, experienced so much and I am ready to accomplish so much more. You are a fire and you will feel everything completely. I know. I am fire too. But you have already done amazing things and have so many more to do. And as far as figuring out if it is the pandemic or perimenopause.. Does it really matter? Go with whatever you need to do to get through this time. You are doing a great job. Love yourself. Love from Diana
