The Many Faces of Periods
Adibah Iqbal wants you to know that we’re all in this together. Period.
We have all been there, ladies – the pain, the anger, and the pure hate of everything everywhere. This is my middle finger up at all the tampon adverts in the world.
The periods where you want to stab someone in the heart
The period where you’ll literally have sex with anything
The periods where all you want is a hug
The period where your emotions are running wild
The ‘not interested in doing anything’ period
The period where your hormones are obviously having a fit, because you’re the happiest person alive
The period where you just want to be happy again
The painful period
The ‘I’m on my period’ period – where you blame everything on the fact that you’re on you period
The period where all you need is a good back rub
The late period
The crime scene period
Or
The red sea period
The period where you want to rub melted chocolate all over your body
And then after eating so much, you get a little overwhelmed
The ‘I can’t move’ period
Have I missed one? Have you thought of one I have completely looked over? Let me know, comment below.
