Hope you're all having a pain free day!
It's recently come to my attention that someone had made a remark in regards to my blog/facebook/instagram and was offended by me talking openly about my experiences with PCOS and Endometriosis and my talking about periods...
First thing first, WELCOME TO THE 21ST CENTURY!
Where people and women have freedom of speech!
Secondly, if what I write about or discuss offends you; YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ IT.
I've stated before in my other posts as to why I chose to be so open about my experiences and I'll reiterate for anyone who missed it the first time around. I WRITE FOR AWARENESS. I write for ME. I write for every single woman or girl who is sitting alone feeling ashamed or embarrassed or afraid. For those who feel they can't speak up about what they have to endure, based upon this idea that it's not okay to talk about periods.
IT IS OKAY.
It's not taboo anymore, it's a natural part of virtually every woman's life, it's part of a process that allows us incredible beings to continue creating life. If it makes you uncomfortable you have the option to not read. That's completely your choice, however do not discriminate against someone who has mustered the courage to share how they feel and what they have to deal with on a daily, monthly and yearly basis.
YES, I BLEED OUT OF MY VAGINA... AND?
How does this affect you? The thing's that women/people suffer as a result of any menstrual related condition or in fact ANY condition can be terrible, painful, frightening and ultimately life dominating and NO-ONE should be made to feel ashamed because they want to help or inspire others.
The more we know about the way our bodies work and these illnesses themselves, the better. It helps us to advance not just medically, but mentally in terms of coping daily. It's hard, it's tough and to an extent it can be grotesque but who says we have to be ashamed? It's isolating enough experiencing the effects of these kinds of thing so why should I isolate myself further just so that you feel comfortable. If you find yourself questioning why I do this, then ultimately that's something you need to address. Why does it make you uncomfortable? Who are you to say what is right and wrong?
NEVER BE ASHAMED Endosisters/Polycysters/ Ladies.
WE ARE TOUGH, STRONG, AMAZING BEINGS and no easily offended moron will change that!
Sending lots of love as always,
