You know what I think is cool? Periods. Cramps. Bleeding ‘til you’re embarrassed to walk around because it’s gotten on your pants like you’ve peed red. I think it’s great! Writhing in pain wherever you are: in bed; on a chair at your desk at work; in a car waiting for your friend to freakin walk out of the damn store so that you can get to your room where there’s a heating pad and some pain pills…. It’s wonderful. You know why? Because it means a few things.
One – you can feel. Feeling is good. If you were numb to the things of the world, where would you be? A cold-hearted, desensitized possible jerk, that’s where!
Two – it means that one day you can have babies! How sweet is that! You get to go through all this pain for the rest of your life so that you can be a mother one day. What do the fathers get? They get nothing. They don’t understand the meaning of the word sacrifice. You know what that means? No bond with the child. I mean, many of them just leave. What is that all about? They don’t even get to know what it’s like to change diapers and clean up throw up and muddy footprints and snot on the windows. They’re missing out.
Three – let’s take a look at those who actually can’t have children for one reason or another. They get to just go through the pain. They get to get stronger with each passing month as they wrap their arms around themselves in hopes that a little bit of pressure will relieve a little bit of the hurt. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn’t. But there’s an even bigger benefit: along with getting stronger every month, they don’t have to change diapers and clean up throw up and muddy footprints and snot on the windows. They don’t have to watch in slow motion as their great-great grandmother’s favorite vase is knocked over off of the small decorative table and crashes to the floor into tiny little pieces. They’ll have that family heirloom forever.
So either way you look at it, these periods, this PMS, this intense pain is worth it! Nothing should dampen your spirits, girls! Cheer up! Bear these so-called burdens with a glad heart and a happy soul! Because no matter the outcome of this pain you experience, you are getting the better end of the deal – something about which you should be smiling. Brightly.
