Light the tampon fuse

 

Periods are a bother, and I can't come up with a single reason why women could like them. That is, except blaming their own shitty attitudes on them. But ladies. Let's get real for a second. Blaming your period on your hasty, rude manner is not only offensive to those around you, but also disrespectful to your own body. Chances are, there have been times when you have used your period as an excuse - when you were not really on it but wanted to get out of a tricky situation. Stop it.
Being on your period does not give you an excuse to treat everyone around you like garbage. Yes, I know it hurts, and yes, I know the hormone levels are unstable, but please keep yourself in check! If you say something you didn't mean to say, just apologize and move on. Your period isn't responsible for the hurt feelings and death glares directed toward you - you are.
Your body works hard to keep you healthy, and all you give back to it is hatred and criticism. Bombarding it every waking hour of the day with thoughts of "not good enough" will not only exhaust your body but also weaken your mind. On top of that, every month the body receives a bonus helping of ill-wishes. It's only doing what it is supposed to do - being irritated at it is just as ridiculous as being irritated at the planets rotating around the Sun.
