Maybe I’m Not Supposed to be Happy

2025/5/30 Edited to

... Read moreIn this reflective piece, the author delves into the complexities of emotion, expressing feelings of isolation and despair while maintaining a glimmer of hope. The repeated theme of pressing ‘restart’ symbolizes resilience, as many struggle to find happiness amidst the chaos. Sad poetry often serves as a cathartic release, allowing readers to connect with their own experiences of heartache and adversity. The imagery of dusty roads and borrowed clothes evokes a sense of longing and nostalgia. Furthermore, the community of poetry enthusiasts provides a space where individuals can share their stories, encouraging healing through shared experiences. Joining forums like #poetry and #sadpoems fosters a supportive environment where one can find solace in words that resonate deeply. Engaging with such content not only enriches the reader's understanding of emotional struggles but also highlights the importance of connection and empathy in overcoming personal challenges.

A hand holds a tampon with a light green applicator, partially extended, above a bathroom sink. The overlaid text 'why tf do they hurt' with a crying emoji highlights the user's discomfort, relating to the article's discussion of painful tampon experiences.
Are tampons supposed to be uncomfortable?
Bit embarrassed to ask this since I’m 25 and I’ve never worn a tampon in my life lol. Recently I’ve started wearing tampons since my flow is so heavy it leaks through nighttime pads. The first few times, the tampon caused immense pain and made the area very tender. Right now, I’m using regular size

I was adopted when I was 3. Fostered before that, since I was 2. And from the outside, it probably looked like I got lucky. We had nice clothes. Took family trips. Had birthday parties every year. But deep down, I always felt like I didn’t really belong. Like I was there… but not wanted.
