Did you know that as many as 70% to 80% of all women will have fibroids by age 50? These noncancerous growths occur in the muscle tissue of the uterus and often don't have symptoms. If you do experience symptoms, it may be because of where they are, how many you have, or how big they are.⁠

This paragraph by Haruki Murakami hits very hard:

“Once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”

Your eye health matters more than you think!
Simple habits like eating leafy greens, protecting your eyes from UV light, managing blood pressure, and quitting smoking can help support long-term vision and reduce the risk of macular degeneration. Regular eye check-ups are just as important—they can catch changes early before they affect your sight. https://t.co/bhDRQQ8Jyk

Facts about your eyes

"If you’ve had any success in the past, you should take stock of that and realise that that will happen again, if you’re persistent, if you’re determined and you’re interested in science. I think it’s important to also relax a little bit. You have to be driven and you have to be determined and work hard, but I think emotionally you have to be relaxed and enjoy the process."
