PMS on a First Date

Today I was getting ready for a first date. And I slowly started feeling down about my appearance. I ended up crying at the thought of facing rejection and almost cancelled. But after taking some deep breaths, I put some Regina Spektor on and continued getting ready. I reminded myself that although I feared rejection, it's a worthy risk to take if it could result in love someday. I also reminded myself that I am worthy of love, just as I am. I calmed down, cheered up, and ended up going on the date. I was glad I pushed myself when I could have easily canceled, we had a nice time. Anyway, it's not always that easy to snap out of a funk, especially when you can attribute it to PMS, but I just wanted to share my experience with it. I can't believe how much my hormones affected my confidence in myself today. But it passed. I hope this helps someone else. You are never alone. And you are worthy of love, just as you are.
