24 years of being alive, half of which I've spent bleeding and I am still surprised that last night life felt like hell cause I was gonna start bleeding today?

Like, what even.

Why do I never learn? How is it still different every time? Maybe the only time I'll get used to them is once I hit menopause.

"In afternoon I had a really bad stomach ache cause of that thing..."

This is an actual line from my diary from when I was 15. I am 23 now.

So much unnecessary drama.

Sometimes I can't believe I went from 'there' to taking awareness sessions on menstruation in front of complete strangers.

It took me so long to get over myself. There's still a long way to go for me as in being able to talk about periods freely with men or in their company. But I am so goddamn proud of me for coming this far.

Can I just put my uterus in a timeout until I decide to have kids?

Ok thanks.

Period memes hit different on your period.

I should have listened to my body and stayed home.

All it takes is getting periods in an unfamiliar or unexpected situation for me to lose all sense of sanity.

I am a baby again. Except, if it were true I wouldn't have to deal with periods.

I hate that every little thing makes me cry on my periods.

A well written post. A thank you message. A silly little mistake. The promise I forgot.

Every little thing.

But maybe, just maybe, the reason I cry isn't because my hormones are all over the place.

Maybe, just maybe, I cry because those silly little things matter to me. And maybe, periods are the only time I let my guard down, perhaps because I am tired.

They always matter to me.

And when I am not so worried about being strong, I let myself feel the hurt.

What's so wrong with crying anyway?

“The signs were all there.”

Ofcourse the signs were there. The signs are always there.

You just don’t know what they were pointing at until it happens.

You think I love you?

I have thought about getting a hysterectomy more times than I have thought about getting dinner with you.

Get a grip.

10 years of bleeding and I still get surprised every time.

[myperioddramas]

How dumb do I have to be to confuse masturbation blood with periods?

[myperioddramas]

I will never not crack at the idea of eating eggs on my periods.

[myperioddramas]

Don't be sweet to me on my period. I'll cry.

Even at the peak of my period misery, it's an absolute delight to be able to distinguish between cramps and bloating, versus just the pad being uncomfortable.
