Yeah, let’s talk about the period, the one that all women get.

I remember the first time I got mine. It was the last summer of my primary school. I wasn’t sure that was the legendary period that I have been hearing about and my friends were keep getting. Is that it? Or did I hurt myself? I finally told my mom and wasn’t sure about her reaction. Out of my surprise, mom gave me a lesson, in clam. She said, my jingjing, you are an adult now. I asked, what do I need this period for? What does it do? Why do I have it? Mom explained, it means that you are just like me; you can be a mom too. You will have to be responsible about what you do. I kept asking, is it a bad thing? Oh no, my baby. It is a sign. It means you are not a kid anymore. It will come and visit you every month to remind you that you are a girl, a lady, and a woman.

That was the very first impression I had on my period. I remember my dad even bought me a cake to congratulate me and my grandparents called to tell me that they are happy that I had became a lady. The fact was, my heart and soul was so young and I need my family’s support so much. Luckily, I got more than enough and I had never felt a ashamed or troubled by the period.

My period is always on time. I can feel when it’s coming. I will become so lazy and sleepy. My tummy feels warm and heavy. Then, I know another month has past. Sometimes I imagine that I am in a place where there is no clock and calendars; I will still be able to tell how many days or months have past. My period is smooth on me. I never had horrible pain or non-stop sweating. The only problem I have is that I will have terrible headache at the beginning and the end of my period. I got it from my mom. She was so hoping that I would not get the same problem as her, but I still did. I am happy in a way; I am her daughter.

If you are a man, you will never understand the feeling of having period, which is a pity. You will never have an urge for sitting down; you will never have to say no to ice creams on some days; you will never check the back of your pants when you get up from a chair; you will never experience the pain, as if a ton is hanging a single hair; you will never feel there is a fountain on your body and you just have no control over it.

A women’s period is like an alarm, it tells you everything about your body and life. When women have their periods, they may not appreciate it, till it finished completely, out of their lives, then ladies would say, oh, there is something missing…A woman can be moody when she is having her period, she could be very sensitive, isn’t that the best time to see who truly cares about you ?

Some say, the world belongs to man, because women are weak. They say women are useless, because God gave them period to make them weaker than man. I say, shut up, you. Do you know that having period means youth, energy and maturity? Can you deny that women are the birth givers to all the generations? Have you notice all women can bear the pain from their period even delivery? And this period, month after month, from age of 14, every 28 days, it arrives, till a woman’s body makes a new life, isn’t that a pure miracle? How can you not treat a woman, every woman like treasures?
