MARK LEE / SMOOTHIE (2024)
The best things in the world are created at 3AM on a caffeine high
Chan, probably
Y’all are thinking I’m kidding when I say that I’m ugly crying, but I’m actually ugly crying. Its been so worrisome thinking about the future of dream and to think that they can potentially promote as ot7 again makes my heart so happy and full (although they should give mark a break once in a while). I can’t believe all our work paid off and that NCT Dream is going to be like NCT U and have member change ups with all the original members. I want to say that I love our dreamies so much and that I hope for the best for them. I hope they work hard, but, more importantly, they are able to enjoy themselves. Thanks for making this come true. Let’s mark the day 20.04.13 as the day NCT Dream became a fixed unit.
My mother also talked about periods to my brothers.
When I first got mine I had terrible cramps. Crippling cramps. I once was camping with my family and a few of my big brother’s friends when my period came. My cramps were so bad that my mom gave me a full pain killer ( I was 13 and before that she only gave me pills cut in half).
I literally laid down on my parents’ air mattress and cried in pain for an hour before the pill kicked in.
My brothers friend came in to the big tent and I was just curled up and sobbing. Now, I was quite the tomboy and was known to rough house with my brothers and their friends and made sure I wasnt seen as just “a little girl.” So my brother’s friend was confused to see me openly weeping in the fetal position (seriously, these were the worst cramps I have had in my life. My vision went white). He asked what was wrong with me.
My big brother stood up immediately and suggested a nice long hike. During this hike I am sure he had a pretty awkward conversation with his friend explaining menstrual cramps, because when they got back the pain pill had (mostly) kicked in and I was sitting up at a table when my brother’s friend sheepishly asked me if I was feeling better. I said I was better, and he said good.
When we made s'mores that night my brother and his friend kept me well supplied with chocolate.
Making sure sons know as much about periods and menstruation as daughters makes them better brothers, better sons better fathers, and better men. A man that understands a period will not lightly accuse a woman of “being on her period” if the woman is in an argument.
