by Joanne Millares August 21, 2017 OMG

Here, maybe these tweets will make you understand what we're going through even just for a bit.

For starters, even if you have a regular cycle, it still comes when you least expect it.

Talk about the insane physical pain and and how can you forget about the emotional pain you feel?

Menstruation is so hard. My back hurts, I'm hungry, my uterus is on fire, and I just started crying for no reason.

When you know your period/menstruation is gonna hit you hard, because you got more acne than ever and your mood is bad..

Having menstruation also comes with a price and we're not just talking about tampons and menstruation pads and food (the price of PMS). We're talking about birth control pills and other methods that regulate our hormones, too.

Here's the thing though - rich or poor, menstruation is a price a woman is born with. It is darn expensive.

The hardest part of it all because even through the pain, life has to go on. We still need to continue doing the things we've been doing regularly.

A strong, brave woman cooks, cleans, takes care of her family, works all while menstruation is going on, acts like it's not hard 2 survive.

So next time you joke about menstruation or be little women, think again. You don't get to tell us what to do because you don't know what we're going through.
