Riding The Crimson Wave: The Reasons Why Periods Can Be Painful
It’s that time again.
The time of the month that is.
Ever since I started having my first period I hated having to go through it on a monthly basis. I’m pretty regular too.

Ever since I started having my period, I hated it. Because every time it came I knew that I had to make a few arrangements which were also coupled with anxiety.
