Conscious Period

Recently I watched one of my favorite youtuber, Ingrid Nilson's, new video about your period. She talked a lot about being comfortable with your period, and also donated little mini higene kits to women in need which I thought was wonderful. As someone who is very comfortable with my period, I thought I should talk about my experience.

I got my first period when I was almost 11 years old, I believe it was do to a lot of stress due to my near move back to Brazil. I was the first of all my friends, so I would always get extremely embarrassed and scared to talk about it, but I forgot that it was completely normal. I actually got it at a party (how convenient), so I just asked for a pad and everything was ok,

I think my worst period horror story was recently, this October, I travelled to New Jersey to visit some friends. I wasn't expecting my period so only brought three pads (terrible idea). I got it on the last day, while i was going to the airport, So I put in a day pad and since I had two flights that day, I thought I should change after my first flight. Long story short, it got everywhere, literally everywhere, underwear, pants, plane seat, car seat, and everywhere else. It was terrible, so always bring loads of pads everywhere.

Recently I found out I have an extremly heavy flow on my period so have started taking birth control, which is working on regulating my period, so I don't have such a waste of iron (since I am vegetarian and this iron is even harder to consume), I only started taking it this month so so far I don't have much to say.

I encourage everyone to speak out about their period since it is such a natural and normal thing that is often shamed upon.

Experiment: Writing 5 Good Things I Do Everyday

I'm trying this new thing where I write five good things that happened to me that day, and I'm hoping it will make me more grateful each and everyday. I feel like I, and many other people take a lot for granted, and I never want to do that because I'm so gifted and I know that.

I had an amazing yoga teacher a while back and she said she did this everyday and it made her so much more connected to herself, and suggested we all did it. I never ended up following it, but now I'm really excited to do so.

I will update you guys every once in a while so you guys know how its going, since I've only started like two days ago.

Playing an Instrument

I started showing interest in music from a young age. I remember I was about 5 when I decided to learn how to play the keyboard, so I bought one and my parents put me in lessons, this was when we were in Japan. We soon moved but I continued lessons for maybe another year, in the US I didn't have a very nice teacher. She was old and in my mind "boring", so I quit. A lot of people in my school were in band, so I tried to play the recorder for a while aswell, but was never super interested.

When I moved back to Brazil, I had the brilliant idea do buy an acoustic guitar, I named her Naomi. My parents again put me in lessons and I found myself. I absolutely love playing the guitar and can't imagine now my life without it. I've been having lessons for about  4 years now, and it is often my escape.

I highly recommend people to try and play an instrument because it is a very easy "escape" code. I often find myself quite lost in the music, and for anyone who says it's too hard, obviously has not tried. My dad often tells me that everything is hard until you practice, which is very true.

My favorite songs to play on the guitar are:

Wonderwall - Oasis
Here Without You - Two Doors Down
Stop Crying Your Heart Out - Oasis
Yellow - Coldplay
You Know I'm No Good - Amy Winehouse
Come As You Are - Nirvana
Naive - The Kooks
Iris - Goo Goo Dolls
Creep - Radiohead
Like A Stone - Audioslave
Stand By Me - Oasis
Sitting Waiting Wishing - Jack Johnson
Otherside - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Lugar Ao Sol - Charlie Brown Jr

If you guys have any suggestions of songs you like to play, please leave a comment, and let me know if you try out a new instrument. (:
