on this date fourteen years ago (september 26th, 1998) eleven year old me saw blood in her panties.
alas, my period had arrived.
i tried to use a tampon, but those things were invasive and scary.
i think i decided to free bleed instead.
here is photographic evidence of what a dorky pubescent middle schooler i was (i’m the one on the left in the girlfriend tee, obviously).](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mayx2gzP931qbuv3to1_500.jpg)
