Hmmm...

Aunt Erma came for a visit the other day, and I've just felt miserable all week. But, a thought popped into my head this evening, and I'm not sure why or where the thought came from. But does anyone else feel shame when their period comes for a visit? Like, IDK why I feel that way, but I just do. I guess it just makes me feel so gross and such, that it just kind of feels like shame. If that makes any sense. I guess because periods are almost never talked about, and it's so taboo to talk about them. And if talk ever does happen, then it's usually in hushed tones, and people use nicknames for them. IE: Aunt Erma, Shark Week, so on and so forth. It's interesting, and I wonder why that is. Is it cause it's so personal? Am I alone in feeling the shame?
