Ugh, I hate how my period makes me moody and extra sensitive.
Perhaps the pinky-purple daisies (in the photo above) that Aiden brought me on Tuesday were a preventative measure. You know, so that I wouldn’t rip his face off at the most minuscule of provocations.
I loathe women who use their cycle as an excuse to act like [...]
