The first time: Being unable to talk to my mother just because I felt awkward. I went to my sister crying and she told me that it was normal and at that time I was fasting and when you’re on your period you can’t fast which I found out that day. Going out and being on my period was something I didn’t care about, I was never embarrassed but once I asked my mum for a pad and she was hiding it, not that big of a deal but it made me see the difference between the way she thought of them and the amount of awareness given to her as a kid but only made me more comfortable.
