Ah, menopause. That magical time in a woman's life when her body decides to play a never-ending game of "Guess What's Happening Now?" It's like your body hired a particularly mischievous trickster to run the show. One minute, you're sweating like a sinner in church, the next, you're freezing like you've just been caught nicking the last biscuit.
It's a hormonal rollercoaster that makes you wish you could just unbuckle the seatbelt and hop off at the next stop. But no, my dear, you're strapped in for the whole ride, screaming your lungs out and gripping the safety bar for dear life.
Let's talk about those mornings. Ah, mornings, when the sun peeks through your window and you have two glorious choices: continue to sleep with your dreams or wake up and chase them. And trust me, on some days, the bed is like a lover you can't quit. It's whispering sweet nothings, promising you just five more minutes of blissful escape from the chaos that awaits beyond the covers.
But here's where the magic happens. Every morning, you have the power to choose. You can let those pesky hot flushes and mood swings keep you tethered to your pillow, or you can kick off the sheets with the ferocity of a lioness ready to chase down her prey. As the legendary Carmelo Anthony once said, "Every morning you have two choices: continue to sleep with your dreams or wake up and chase them."
Imagine you're standing at the edge of your bed, hair a wild tangle reminiscent of a bird's nest post-tornado, your pyjamas clinging to you in ways that are decidedly unsexy. In one hand, you've got a mug of tea that promises to bring you back to life. In the other, a to-do list that looks like it was written by someone who thinks you're Wonder Woman. Spoiler alert: you are.
Menopause might be the body's way of throwing a party where everything's on fire, but that doesn't mean you can't be the one holding the extinguisher. You've got the power, darling. Whether it's chasing dreams or wrestling them into submission, every morning is a new round in the ring.
You might get knocked down by a stray mood swing or body ache, but you get back up. Because that's what women do. We persevere. We thrive. We face the day with the kind of courage that makes even the sun look timid.
So, next time you find yourself tangled in the sheets, debating whether to chase dreams or hit snooze, remember this: the world is your playground, and menopause is just the latest obstacle course. Sure, it might feel like you're running through quicksand with a boulder strapped to your back, but if anyone can make it look effortless, it's you.
Get up, put on your armour—whether it's a power suit or your favourite yoga pants—and show the world what you're made of. Chase those dreams like they're the last piece of chocolate in the pantry. Because at the end of the day, menopause might think it's the boss of you, but you've got the final say. And you say, "Watch me soar."
