Today is day one of my period for this month. I feel blessed to say I have barely ever faced cramps, although I've had another issue called heavy flow, or menorrhagia, for years.

This results in anaemia due to heavy blood loss, and I've even been hospitalised a couple of times for blood transfusions.

But oh boy, the few instances when I do have painful periods, like today for example, the pain is freaking unbearable.

It feels like just existing normally without any pain even if it means being bored is a luxury in itself. You appreciate life better when you are in pain or distress.

Mother Nature is very harsh on Women’s bodies for god knows what reason. :’)

Ladies I’m curious 😭

If I communicate clearly from the beginning that:

• I don’t want sex before marriage

• I’m okay with holding hands, hugging, cuddling etc

• Making out and more physical stuff would only happen once the relationship feels genuinely serious. Ie: once they’ve earned my trust.

…what kind of guys would this usually filter out?
Will this scare away most players/f**ckbois or do some still stick around pretending to be serious? :’)

Just asking based on women’s experiences because I know boundaries help but they’re probably not magic lol

Hi! F 22 here I’m looking for anime that are grounded in reality with little to no supernatural elements.

I really enjoy stories that focus on human experiences, emotions, and relationships. I loved Heidi, and I’m especially interested in anime that highlight social issues or have historical settings with a meaningful message.

I also once watched a Hiroshima bombing scene in an anime that really stayed with me, so I’m looking for something similarly emotional and thought-provoking.

I also prefer older anime (70s, 80s, 90s), but I’m open to newer ones if they fit this vibe.

Basically, realistic, slice-of-life or drama anime that feel impactful rather than fantasy-heavy.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you! :)
