    My friend is going to be on her period throughout Christmas. So, in her gift from me to her I put a bunch of her favorite candy and a stuffed animal in it for Christmas. I know she’s going to love it and I hope it helps especially because she’s a trooper with one of the worst periods ever. Have a merry Christmas ( or whatever holiday you celebrate )!

    When I was five I had a sleepover with my 12 year old cousin and I woke up in the middle of the night and felt something wet on the floor (we had a palette on the floor to sleep on) And saw blood was on the ground and on her so I started crying and she was like "wut???"` and so she had to explain to a five year old wut it was. When we told my grandma (bc we were at her house) She gave my cousin a lecture on her being a woman 😌
