the period project

rant forty-five: river of damn tears

anonymous 

Kay so, when I first got my period I freaked out, cuz the day before I had read a thing like TPP but it was written by a bunch of my friends as a stress relieving thing or sumthing or some thing to freak me out.

Well, it did. They wrote things like

"YOU WAKE UP IN A POOL OF MOTHER EFFIN BLOOD"

"You get these damn cramps that hurt like shit"

"You start peeing BLOOD...DAMN BLOOD"

So, when I had gotten it, I cried for like 2 hours straight, no joke. AND THE DAMN TEARS WOULDNT STOP. I'm like, WTF AM I BEING SO EMOTIONAL ABOUT?

Next day, I see my seriously uncomfortable pad that took me half an hour just to get on and cry...again

Watch Grey's Anatomy and CRY because McDreamy chose his wife over Meredith...I USUALLY LAUGH

I go into the bathroom and chant, "I'm okay, I'm totally okay"

Yeah, no. I start DAMN CRYING and "I'm okay" turns into, "I'M NOT FREAKIN OKAY, WHO THE HELL AM I KIDDING, THERES BLOOD POURING OUT OF DOWN UNDER AND MY STOMACH FEELS LIKE ITS GONNA KEEL OVER AND DIE!"

Yeah so, all in all, 5 years worth of tears are shed in 5 days of your period...AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE CHOCOLATE.
