The Purpose of PMS
As me and my roommates were driving up 85 tonight, I found myself pondering the good things that come from PMS. It all started when I realized what a butt I had been to a dear friend and how surely PMS had a big role in it. So, what's the good in that, you ask? Well, let's see...
1. When else can you, for no good reason, get such a clear look at how sinful you really are?. The possibilities are endless here, but just to name a few: impatience, intolerance, harshness, hatred, imprudent speech (like that terminology?), anxiety, laziness, self-pity, shall I go on?
2. Delilah may not have survived 50 years of radio without our monthly friend. I mean what better time to turn the radio up and belt out your favorite love ballods. Feeling all the emotion (real and/or imagined) of the artists themselves. What a better time to listen to the cheese balls who call in and to somehow feel connected to them.
3. Where would Pfizer and Bayer be if not for PMS? I'm talking more than the makers of Motrin here people. I mean how many times have you thought, "Oh my gosh. Can someone please pop me a Prozac here?!" Or how many of your significant others have wished that for you?!
4. I know I would be even more prideful if not for my monthly exposition. This goes along with number one, but I'm not sure all these things are sin; more like humiliating exposés. It's where we, and all those near us, discover just how irrational, delusional, depressed, insecure and dramatic we can be. There's typically much need for the asking of grace during this time.
5. What else could possibly make us happy to finally just start!? Think about it, is there anything fun about a period? No. But how often have you found yourself saying, "I just wish my period would start so I could get off this emotional roller coaster!"
So, see ladies, we should all count our blessings each month - even in the midst our lovely monthly emotional volcanic explosions!
GUYS: I'm sorry if you found this disturbing or difficult to read, but just remember: at least you only have to read about it!
