I Did Not Trick Mother Nature

I haven’t had my period in a long time. Like, 7 months?  

I thought I was getting away with something until tonight; it’s become more and more clear to me that my body did not skip 7 periods.  Instead, it stockpiled 7 periods worth of emotions and wonkiness and pain and proclivity towards crying.  And all 7 of those months are totally bitch slapping me in the face right now.
