Whatever you do with your life, just make sure you end up with a kind partner. There will be very many days the feeling of love will not be enough to get you through the days. But a kind person will always be a kind person regardless.
Because one day, love will feel ordinary and on that day, character will matter more than chemistry.
Be guided.
Save the date!

Dear Menstruation,
We need to talk.
First of all, I respect your consistency. Every month, no fail.
You donโt even send a memo,you just show up. Thatโs commitment.
But can we address a few things? ๐ข
You already take bl00d. Fine, weโve accepted that part.
You already bring cramps that make us question every life choice weโve ever made. Weโve managed.
You already come with fatigue that turns a simple flight of stairs into Mount Everest. Weโve coped.
So my question is,why the extra?
Why do you always have to announce your arrival by redecorating our faces with pimples? ๐ฅฒ๐ข
Is the bl00d not enough announcement? Is the back pain not loud enough? Do you really need to leave souvenirs on our cheeks and chin for the whole world to see?
We are already dealing with mood swings, cravings, and the fear of staining white. We are already calculating pad money.
Please, can we sign a peace treaty? Take the bl00d, take the cramps if you must, but leave our faces alone.
We are managing enough. Let us at least keep our glow.
Yours sincerely,
Every girl who has checked the mirror and said โGod, not againโ few days before you arrived.
Ladies, whatโs the most annoying thing your period does to you apart from cramps?
