Badly Injured?

Dear periods,

I can't believe you arrived a week before my 10th birthday - when I was too young to understand what on Earth was happening - and I thought I had really badly injured myself. I was the youngest person I knew to be going through this, and most of my friends caught up a long 3-4 years later.

Now I'm 25 and I know you like the back of my hand, though. I know all of your twists which means you're on your way, I know when you'll be late and I know exactly how to handle you.

Thanks for the heads up. x
