unpopular opinion: periods don’t suck

disclaimer: okay, so i know what i’m about to say is might get some hate, but i just wonder if anyone else feels the same as myself. obviously others have different experience and i’m not one to judge or shame anyone’s choices they make for themselves and their body. just my opinion + experience.

i experience pretty bad cramps every month on my period, i used to use advil for them/heating pad, nothing really soothes them. however, the more i thought about it, i stopped hating my cramps/dreading getting my period. my uterus is the home of my body, it’s what makes me a woman, someday it will be home to my babies and i’ll get to bring them here through it. all it’s doing is exactly what nature intended it to do. it’s natural, it’s woman. this is the process of preparing to create life and eventually it will all be worth it, the pain sucks but when i think about what’s going on inside my body it’s really so amazing. i stopped trying to numb it and just feel it because there’s no other experience like it and i’m blessed that my body is healthy enough to be able to do this.
