Monsterating

People who experience menstruation may understand this feeling in which we basically become a massive crybaby in addition to being a cranky bitch we never thought we were. No wonder why Luke from Modern Family called it "monsterating" because even I sometimes felt scared while thinking of my past behaviours and decisions I made during my period.

Still, our hormonal changes within some stages of the period cycle shouldn't be a justification for our bad behaviour. I can totally understand when some people including myself are sometimes fallen victim to it, but we also need to own the consequence. We shouldn't get away with our actions just because we have a fully-functioned uterus, girls.

For those who never experience menstruating, don't you ever tell us that our poor actions are the result of the hormonal changes we might experience because: 

1. Everybody is built differently (literally) so not everyone in their period experiences an emotional rollercoaster ride;
2. It shows your ignorance by somehow invalidating people's feelings. Just because we're on our period, doesn't mean that what we feel is not real.

It's also valid for you to feel exasperated with our irrational conduct and feelings. You can feel angry with us, but to confront us while we are at the peak of our emotions is pointless: it's just adding fuel to the fire. If you understand the concept of hormones, you might as well understand that on account of it, we are not in control of our emotions like usual days: our rationality is taken hostage just at that exact moment.

My advice is just to retreat from the scene and reassemble while everybody is in their right mind. Communicate each others' feelings and solve the problem afterwards.

Also, not everything that we do is as extreme as making stupid conflicts with other people. Sometimes it is as harmless as crying on the night bus ride without any reason, or crying over abang-abang gojek yang videoin air mancur Senayan Park lol gue sih kalo ini.

Huff, I wish making essays would be as easy as rambling nonsense like what I wrote in this blog ya.
