Being a woman

The reason that I used a woman instead of women. Every single one has her own story of it may be similar but never the same.

Ever since the first period, life full of fear and uncomfortable. The mood changes before and  during the period. If the period didn't come on time, you worried if there is something wrong?   During the period, the fear of what if I stain the clothes or the chair, all kinds of accidents happens all the time. In the blink of an eye, you grow up and become mature.

You marry and pregnant with baby, no period around 12 months, if including 3 months of breastfeeding. It seems like having a break time being a woman.

The Birth is mixed with pain and joy. But then you may suffer from postpartum depression symptoms after and no one but you understand it. You are struggling and try to break through on your own. You become the mom, the dad, the doctor, the nurse, the cook, the teacher, the psychologist, the bodyguard, the clean lady, the coach, the provider and the like. You are a superwoman.

Years later, finally the kids grow up. Then came the Menopause. Before the Menopause came it's another long period of uneasy process. You don't know how long does it take before the full stop. All kinds of different symptoms occurred, whether it is a serious or easy one. It's an unknown and depressive nightmare.

Then the aging suddenly gone faster than ever.

With or without, none is your choice to make. Tough being a woman.

Yet, you can face and accept it gracefully!
