Dear Monthly Vaginal Bleeding,

You left me several months ago and at the time, I didn’t care. I was glad. I thought I was better off without you. After a few months I did start to miss you. When you came back last month I felt strangely glad to see you. I wanted you back in my life. I thought it would be a healthy relationship for me. It seemed to be and I’m glad that you are back.

This month, though, you seem to be making up for lost time. I appreciate that you understand my abandonment issues and that you want me to feel secure with you in my life again but it isn’t necessary.

Please don’t make up for lost time.

I need my space.

You’ve been hanging around a little too much for the last week or so and I just need some time for other things in live like ovulating. I will be happy to spend time with you again next month, but in the mean time I need some me time.

To the rest of the world, I was glad to get my period back because it had been gone for a long time. I’ve read that being ridiculously overweight can do that. I don’t think that I’ve lost any weight, at least I wasn’t trying, but I am feeling healthier overall so perhaps that’s why.
