Why I Enjoy Getting My Period

I used to “hate” getting my period… it honestly makes me so sad to think about the fact that I hated getting my period when I was in high school. Bleeding grossed me out. I was ashamed. I thought it was such an inconvenience to my cross country and track performance.

When I was about 15 years old, I actually got on the depo shot which took my period away entirely for many years. I can do an entire other post about that but it’s been a long journey to get here (having healthy regular periods and being grateful for them).

If you’re a woman, wherever you’re at in your journey to your menstrual cycle is okay! I hope you learn to love it and see the positives because it’s a huge part of our lives.
