Ovulation in my 30s is intense. See, I can be minding my business, on my phone sending audio messages, and the next minute I am craving chocolate, eggs with fish sauce, emotional intimacy, and somebody’s grown and sexy son all at the same time.

To be real with you it feels as if my body turns into a completely different person for a few days out of the month. My energy levels shift. My appetite gets louder than my thoughts. My emotions sit right at the surface. My cramps can come in acting straight up disrespectful. I’m talking about the cramp that make you stop what you are doing, grab your lower pooch, and breathe through it like the Lord is testing yo' gangsta’.
Okay, so the wild part is trying to carry all of that while still being a grown, responsible, and intentional woman who is still about protecting her peace. Plus, attraction and desire are natural, however so is protecting your peace. A lot of women in their 30s are handling their business. That may be a combination of healing, being celibate, rebuilding, traveling, working, and choosing not to entertain men they do not emotionally trust.
That is also considered during the weeks where loneliness and feeling aroused hits the hardest. Honestly? That level of discipline deserves a damn trophy. People laugh about women being “in heat,” but nobody talks about how mentally frustrating it can feel trying to balance hormones, crazy cravings, emotional needs, and maintain self-control. All of this can be done while still wanting affection, intimacy, and genuine connection. Sometimes I do feel like I could gnaw on a jean jacket and cry for no reason exactly. Being a woman is truly a unique experience with its on struggles.
