The womanhood is a complex experience. Initially, conditioned by intrinsic in nature physiological processes and mechanisms, then ‘enriched’ by socio-cultural expectations of the place and time you live in, and on top shaped by inherited beliefs, happy womanhood, wholesome womanhood, too often seems out of reach.
Hi, my name is Evgeniia, and I am the founder of the Eve’s Flow Project. I write about the most intimate experience of my womanhood journey in an attempt to make peace with my estrogen-driven self. Because too many times I have felt confused choosing and picking between acquired over the years knowledge of what a good woman should look like, feel like, act like, be like, and the internal ever-changing flow of physical perceptions, emotional states, triggers, desires, in a cyclical flow. And contrary to what I was made to believe by Western perceptions of mind-over-body, my estrogen-driven cyclical flow doesn’t stand in the way of happier womanhood. It is the cornerstone of feeling whole as a person, if only I gave it a chance to manifest in a natural intended way, and it is worth paying close attention to.
Initially, I thought I would write for women like me. But looking closely, I realized – they already know that. So I write for those who are confused about womanhood the most. For those for whom what it means to feel a woman is a mystery, to say the least. And while men (loving men, caring men, respectful men) try to understand it too, I will try to explain my experience as plainly as I can.
Whether my reader wants to start with understanding the basics of female’s body physiological processes and how they always make sense for evolution and procreation, or discover vast variety that exist in a men-made world of 1. expectations from women and 2. elaborate or evident kinds of pressures and punishments, I do appretiate your effort to understand the womahoond without judgement and belief that someone knows at least part of womanhood better then, well, a woman.
P.S. I do not write often. Following my cyclical rhythm, I write rarely but in bunches. Months August through February are among the most prolific in terms of readable material. Months March through July are the most intense in terms of observing, internalizing, and elaborating introspection. So, stay tuned, something will come up.
