• What is happening?
    My period started yesterday.. @ㅁ@!

    I did feel a bit tired and slightly swollen, but compared to the past,
    it passed at a completely normal level.ㅠ_ㅠ
    I really hope it’ll stay like this from now on.

    Also, I’m glad it rained last night and quenched the dry earth.🌿

  • Lately, I’ve been having surprisingly good days.
    While walking, a quiet smile crept in—“Hmm, this feels strange. Why am I so happy?”

    In the past, feeling happy often brought a subtle sense of worry not far behind.
    But these days, I try to simply enjoy the good moments as they come.

    Mid-40s. Growing older… doesn’t feel like such a bad thing.

  • I usually spend half the month struggling with various issues caused by hormonal imbalance—from ovulation until my period—like bloating, depression, and muscle aches.
    Now it’s been almost two months since I started eating roasted flax seeds, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds.

    From the start of my period until ovulation: ground roasted flax seeds
    From ovulation until my next period: sunflower seeds + ground sesame seeds

    Last month, I felt like they were helping a little… but this month, it’s clear—my body feels much more at ease.
    It’s about a week before my period, and I have no bloating, no low moods, no muscle pain. There were a few days of intense sleepiness and fatigue starting around ovulation, but honestly… this is one of the better months I’ve had in a long time.

    Just sharing in case it helps someone out there.
    (P.S. GPT told me this is called Seed Cycling! 😄)
