Nandini J • Rajasthan, India • 19
As a 10 year old, I was extremely excited about Indian weddings and heavy duty attires, which is when my goddess in red visited. I was fully dressed in fancy Rajasthani poshak for my cousin’s wedding when I had my first period.
If my memory serves me right, I had no clue what was happening inside of my body when on the outside there was a DJ night happening. Yes, I had absolutely zero idea about menstruation or period cramps, because nobody was expecting a 10 year old to be visited by Aunt Flo.
