I started my puberty stage a bit later than my friends. I remember a time when all of my friends were asking each other if they have already gotten their period and sure enough, I was the only one left behind. I just laughed it off and they didn't mind but, it was awkward as hell. I wanted to be grown up like them.
I was 15 at
that time when I first got my period and It was really scary. I went for
my morning pee routine, sat on the toilet bowl, and lo and behold,
BLOOD. I initially thought that I had some form of ovarian cancer and
that I was gonna die. I was panicking inside, a bit shaken by the
blood, but I kept my cool and told my mom about it. My mom acted like it was nothing and had me do the local tradition of jumping off from three steps of the stairs, so I did. I already knew what a period was so there was no awkward talk with my mom about puberty stuff. I went to school happy that day knowing I was turning into a lady.
And starting from that day, I get a monthly visit from the period fairy who pokes my lining causing it to fall off along with my blood. I am happy that my menstruation is regular. I expect the same thing every month for five to seven days.
Puberty didn't do much for my body, I feel like I'm still the same lanky, frail-looking girl from high school. Oh well
