Mother Nature is beautiful. The mountains and sea always inspire awe, and our periods...well they give us a different awe feeling. Possibly a feeling of hunger or rage, or maybe commercial induced crying, regardless -- our periods give us feels. From our first cycle to our last as we enter older womanhood, our menstrual cycles are simply the worst. Period.

Let's face it, part of being a woman includes having this blessed curse of the period. Costing around $600 on average a year, and approximately $22,800 throughout our lifetime (with the average 38 years of menstruation), the period deserves it’s own bank account and zip code. But in the end, being a woman is a pretty bad a** and an amazing honor. And period shaming? Yeah, that's not cool...women are given this beautiful gift of being able to give life. As much as periods suck,
they're natural and normal. Report this ContentThis article has not been reviewed by Odyssey HQ and solely reflects the ideas and opinions of the creator.
