Friday March 6, 2026 | Journal Prompt | What do you most appreciate about your current life stage?

I never really got to experience any life stages other than my first period, living on my own for 3 years.  Until they found out that I was sexually active with Jason when I was in my 30's.  That is what Jason seems to think.  And I believe him?  The short answer is no.  The current life stage is perimenopause.  People say that there are no symptoms of menopause other than hot flashes and night sweats and a woman losing her period.  I guess people have decided that I didn't have any problems with perimenopause.  But because peri and menopause is so personal, people just don't want to talk about it to anyone because it is embarrassing to talk about.  Right?
