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.
