Does anyone else hate their periods?
Can we please normalize not loving your period? I’m so over pretending like it’s empowering or mystical when mine just… ruins my week. Usually longer. The cramps, the brain fog, the unexplainable urge to sob over literally nothing...it’s not cute. I’m allowed to feel miserable without guilt.
