A lot of people conceptualize their period as their uterus having a tantrum about there being no baby. I used to do that, too.

Then I found this article about why we menstruate and I realized that’s not what’s going on.

It’s actually my uterus saying, “Look, you don’t want a baby this month. I certainly don’t want a damn baby this month. We’re going to make damn sure there’s no baby this month even if I have to nuke the site from orbit.”

And I think that’s beautiful.
