No word of a lie, as the exchange student in the same scenario about 20 years back, I feel this still to this day.

Did I love her? You bet I did. Do I still miss her? You bet I do? Do I regret letting it just be a lovely memory from the past? Not at all.

Before you go any further, go over to r/hairdye and get some advice on how to fix it. Because often times there's a way out if you're patient, but black dye all over is not going to be the best route to end up lighter again eventually. If nothing else, at least choose a semi-permanent rather than a permanent color.

Periods will always start at the worst possible moment and/or when we are the least prepared for them. Always carry pads? Period will start the day after you give your last one away and forgot to restock. Going on a trip? Period will start in the car or on the plane. Beach vacation? Don't evem bother bringing that cute white bathing suit.

My period last month started when I was hiking at the top of a mountain, hours away from a bathroom. Inadequate cover to duck behind, popular enough trail that we met someone every few minutes. Fucking nightmare.

I'm sorry you had such a bad day. I hope you can laugh about it soon

In case there was spillage, hydrogen peroxide is your friend for getting out blood stains! Glad the day is over for you. Had a friend take a ride home and wore a skirt and got her period…back seat was stained :( I definitely have also done the bundled TP in a pinch. Periods suck.

I was 14. It was summer. Everyone was going swimming. I really wanted to go too but had my ragtime. While everyone went to the pool down the street, I went into my mom's bathroom and looked for a tampon. Never used one before. Didn't know how they worked. It was a plastic applicator type. So I unwrapped it and then slid it in. But it stuck out about 2 inches. I kept pushing it in but it would only go so far. Those 2 inches of plastic wouldn't just disappear in me. So I put my bathing suit on and it tented out. I didn't know what to do, so I just went to the pool. I was really self-conscious about the whole tenting thing. Was going on the diving board and really aware that people have to notice. Til finally my sis came up and asked me what's going on down there. I told her and she explained the plastic part isn't supposed to stay in. Nice memory I get to have on the tribulations of being a chick.

You're going to get this from anybody, so it might as well be me:

Shoot your shot. The fear, anxiousness, and embarrassment about rejection fade, but not knowing sticks with you.

I didn't read the entire post because yes, paragraphs, but you sound young. A lot probably feels very permanent right now that is most definitely not. You'll look back on this and find it silly. If you're not young, sorry for the patronization. Best of luck.
