Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional?

• Its all in the mind. Especially, pain and the way you take it.
• The mind is the master.
• Your attitude towards life reflects the state of your mind.
• The stronger your mind, the more optimistic, you see your life.
  

All the above sounds bull, none of the above helps, on one particular day for me. It's called the girls day. Ladies can relate to it. Exceptions are there, here as well.

Every month, "Me && Me" go up to hell to fetch a glimpse and then come tumbling down. Duration min 5 hrs max varies. This is the routine since a decade now. No amount of precautions or preventive measures, could stop this traumatic stint of mine. (Note: It isn't that there is no pain on other days but manageable!)

It has definitely taken a toll on my psychological system. It drains me both mentally and physically. Cripples me is the right term.

"Its the very identity of being a woman. It is a blessing. Be thankful that you get the cycle regularly. Few don't"  - This is what I hear from people. Really?

So this is the factor that makes womanhood wonderful. I'm in the opinion: Anything which makes you feel special be endearing and not killing. Imho, it's more of a trouble than triumph!

This "woman thingy" makes me weak, emotional and irritated for one day. And that irks me. 

• It makes me question evolution.
• Why only women?
• Shouldn't the creator be invincible?
• Is this the price we got to pay for keeping the homo sapiens species existent and not extinct?

I love being the level headed woman that I am. Truly, madly, deeply and reverentially.

I'm just frustrated that why should I go through so much every single time. And that too its not bimonthly or quarterly or half yearly or annually. Its damn... monthly. I think I have all the right to vent it out.

I'm glad for those few who get it painlessly or less painful.
I empathize with those who go through the hardest way.

And I'm shouting it out aloud without any inhibition..

"Dude, this pain is inevitable and so is the suffering. Period!"
