bittersweet

Hey guys! Well, this is my story…

so, I was 12 years old and I was visiting my family in Maui,Hawaii (im from Honolulu btw) but anyways, ALL of my cousins including my younger sister had their period before me. I was really embarressed because I felt like I was the only girl in my family to be the non mature one and I kinda felt like the third wheel. So, while there I noticed that strange things were happening to me. I had back aches, and I would have mood swings. Like one day I would feel sad because I felt like I needed to go back to home in Honolulu then, the other day I didn’t want to leave Maui. Well, the next morning when I got back home in Honolulu, I woke up , and I sneezed and I felt something leak. Curious about what it was I went into the bathroom went on the toilet and looked down and there it was. A spot of blood. I was so excited and I told my mom, my cousins, and my friends and we celebrated that I was finally beggining to be a teenager! Im 13 now, and tbh I REALLY REALLY HATE periods. Its annoying and you get mood swings, you get hungry all the time and you gain like 5 pounds after a day, and sometimes I have to wash a lot because I stain my bedsheet and my clothes! UGH! But, thats just how it is and every single girl has to go through it.
