Why wouldn't I be obsessed with periods?

Why wouldn’t I be obsessed—with bleeding, counting, enduring?

The average woman bleeds 3,500 days—nearly ten years, about 450 cycles—from first period to menopause.

Am I average? I hope so.

Every month my body reminds me what it means to endure. 

Shows me what flows within. What the mortician will one day drain.

I’ve bled. I will keep bleeding. 

Longer than I’ve loved anyone. Longer than anyone has ever loved me.
