I think I was 10 the day i first got my period. I remember waking up thinking I was laying in a raspberry garden, but no. The waft of the blood floated up my nostrils like water flowing though a semi-permeable membrane via osmosis. It was at that moment I realised I was now a woman. A woman who could now carry a baby within her womb. I flung off my sheets and praised the lord while I held up my blood soaked underwear, making an offering to Jesus.
