My Periods Are Miracles - by Letters From Delight ⁠♡♡

<h4>As a woman I have always been curious about my periods. </h4>About how they arrive, how they announce themselves and how they demand to be felt. How i handle it. The pain, fatigue.The sudden tenderness in your breasts- slightly sore, fuller and heavier.Extra craving for food.The severe waist pain that feels as though giants hands are gripping you tightly, pulling from the inside.The vagina pain.....oops.And that sharp unforgiven pain in the butt, so sudden and intense that strikes and leaves you dead while randomly going about your day's activity.I don't know how it happens, but anytime that ass holes pain strike,I die. One minute you are admiring your face and how smooth it is, the next minute you are having a pimple break, reminding you your periods are around the corner, or maybe they are here already. I empathize with the girls who are devoted to doing skincare, the moment their periods arrives it takes them back to square one. My Periods are miracles. Because one day you are wearing a fitted top and admiring your flat tummy- feeling confident. And boom your period arrives and leaves you bloated- not dramatically but noticeable. You do not need a mirror to confirm it. The bloating feels different. You just know it. How can I forget the girls who experience it so intensely they vomit, grow weak, and end up on drips. Their strength is rarely acknowledged, yet it should be honoured. Prior to this time, a week before- you feel weak. Your body begins to protest. Everything pisses you off. Why is the sky blue? You just start to cry because the sun shone by 8am. One of multiple symptoms I have here. These periods come and demand that you fix some sort of stuff in-between your legs. Yes they are uncomfortable but you don't have a choice. They call it pads. Do you know it? You wear pads for at least 3-7 days. But it is never just about wearing them and moving on with your life. Your consciousness and anxiety increases to 70%. Aware that the pad you wore a few hours ago is full- that you must change it at least 3 times a day to feel clean and comfortable. If you don't do this, you face the consequences and get stained, pointing fingers, you would feel ashamed, silly boys would stare with disgust - like the woman with the issue of blood in the Bible.And then, there are good girls - the one who would quickly rush to cover you up and protect you from the eyes of others.Get you a pad, make sure you are perfectly okay and clean before letting you They call them- GIRL'S GIRL.♡♡Do you know them?.But it's not your fault, YOUR BODY IS JUST BEING BODY, SO WHY SHY?. You are conscious of how you sleep. On what side, in what position, how long, how comfortable?.....Peradventure you let sleep take a hold of you, By dawn you'd run off the bed as fast as a cheetah but....get ready to do some laundry.You'll be angry when you wake up and find your bed stained with your precious blood.A part of you would blame yourself for dozing too deep.Another part would hate you for that moment.Another part would comfort you to know it's not your fault.You'd feel lazy that morning.But you'll wash it anyways. On these days, sometimes you need a hug from your man, but please he shouldn't touch you.You need attention, but please he shouldn't talk to you.You need his presence, but please you don't want to see him on yellow trousers and a black top. You need to lay on his shoulders, but his breath shouldn't be too loud. He shouldn't breath!.You need his encouragement, but please he shouldn't tell you he knows how you feel, because he doesn't. Don't dare say that when you have testicles!You need food, but he shouldn't assume he knows your favourite meal. He should ask you, you are in a different era during your periods.You might be very offensive and maybe a little aggressive, he should just pet you, play with you, or else you would just burst into an emotion of serious tears.He should make the tiles extra cold, you need to lay your tummy on it.You are not even complicated, you are just a girl. And for us who don't have a man. Our pillow and bed functions better than Men. Okay?💅🏾Women Are Miracles.They go through all of these, and still show up.To work, for academics, for family, for the society, for themselves. And not even a public holiday or a day off for our period days. I mean how do blood flowing out of me cause all these chaos and yet I'm alive.And this is why I re-write my title again. <h4>MY PERIODS ARE MIRACLES - WOMEN ARE ART/GOD'S IMPRINT.</h4>
