text: Imagine this:\n\nYou wake up feeling like crap. Your head is spinning and heavy, your body feels bloated, like last night's dinner expanded to the size of texas.\nYour head aches. Your awareness of surroundings become like - footsteps outside your room is like an elephant tromping outside.\nImagine someone who asks so many questions you get annoyed by this person - and you didn't even like him in the first place.\nNow imagine that same feeling towards everyone who talks to you. Imagine now in that mood, someone comes and makes some stupid remark about you in jest.\nYou snap back, right?\n\nImagine you're having a stomachache from having too much food. Your tummy, in parts, is killing you, right? Now imagine that happening to you every month. \nImagine you are sitting over a table, hunched for 8 hours of work. Wow, your back aches.\nNow, imagine that ache on a menstrual woman's back.\n\nImagine you did something horrible. Suppose you had a child, and in some horrible twist of fate, you had to give that child away.\nNow you are so wrecked with guilt, you feel tears well up in yourself because you swell with emotion thinking of the child you lost.\nJust put it into context here, put THAT feeling (not the child story and stuff, just the feeling), and feel how a woman is so emotional at this point.\n\nPeriods suck.\nBut what can we do? It's part of being a woman. We have to take it - like a woman!\n\nJenova\n(d.yuffie@gmail.com)
