We are strong because we are the one who can bleed for a week and not die.

Why periods are good:

1.Would you believe that we actually might live longer because of our periods? (You can stop cursing yours right now.) Research suggests that women age more slowly than men -- and often live longer -- due to the iron lost through menstruation.

2.Think of your cycle as your body's personal housekeeper. Once a month, she arrives and tidies up a bit -- releasing bacteria from the reproductive system and allowing your body to eliminate excess iron, thus lowering your risk of Alzheimer's, cardiovascular disease and stroke.

3.Nobody will judge you when they know you're on your period. We have the right to be mean, emotional, and frustrated at that time.

4.Your period may make you feel dirty, but it's actually cleaning you up.It's getting rid of a bunch of bacteria in your body that you don't need, which lowers your risk of having a stroke, getting Alzheimer's, and having cardiovascular disease.

5.When you're in a bathroom and a stranger needs a tampon/pad, doesn't someone always help her out?No one laughs at her or acts like it's gross that she's on her period, and that's a beautiful  thing.The world is so cruel that it's rare for strangers to be kind to one another.But every woman needs to deal with her period, so it's an experience we can all share and be kind about.
