Yes ladies and gentelman, I’m on my period and i tell it!
Last week i was sitting with some of my friends in a cafe. I was on my period that day. Everything was hurting and i was dying inside but i kept my head up because I’m a woman and the contract to become one states that once a month a devil will join my body and destroy me and everything i love for a week. For men who’s reading this; yes boys thats what a period is and dear women, you know what I’m talking about. The menstruation is like you’re trapped in a Stephen King novel for a week and there is no way out before dying.
But to say factual, the menstrual cycle occurs due to the rise and fall of hormones and this can be very hard to handle.
So to return to my story, i was on my period and i had very severe cramps. I reached to my handbag and put a painkiller out which I was about to take. (Here i have to mention that all of the friends that were there are men.) One of the boys asked me why i was taking the pill and i responded „I’m on my period since yesterday and the pain is very strong, so i have to take it.“ There was silence for few seconds than one of them joked about it and sad „too much information, come on merve.“..
I’m going to tell you what i told them that day…
There are multipal health effects that comes with the monthly bleeding and you have barely control over it. For example cramps, changing behavior and mood swings, depression and of course the bleeding. But it.is.a.natural.thing. Thats what most of the people, in my opinion, don’t get. It is completly natural and you can’t control it.
You don’t feel guilty when you have to use the bathroom, right? You don’t hide the fact that you have to shave or pee sometimes. No. That’s because it is a totaly normal thing.
The boys argumented with, „Yes but i don’t tell you how my pee looked like“ (they used a different word than pee:D ) I responded with „yes, and i didn’t tell you how red the colour of my bleeding is or how liquid it is this time. I just said that I’m on my period like when you have to use the bathroom and you just say it. You neither tell us about colours and texture. And the reason why you tell us you have to use the bathroom and don’t tell us a lie is because it is one of the most natural things in life if not the most natural.“
There is nothing to be ashamed of. Don’t let the society tell you that you have to hide something that is completly normal.
Ladies, next time someone askes just tell them. Say, oh yes honey since yesterday there are communists in the funhouse:)
