This Pain in my Body

This Pain in my Body Menstrual Pain: A Common Enemy Having to go through a reoccurring experience could be boring, but it becomes a burden, a pain too much to bear, or even a heartache to live by one each month; this could be worrisome.   A lot comes with being human, and much more when you are a woman. Women go through diverse phases each month but the more pronounced one is our menstrual pain. You must have heard it discussed among young ladies; some call it the visitor, Oga, period, that time of the month, chicken killer, and many more .

Almost a Bride: My True Survival Story... We really appreciate your time so far with us. This wouldn't have been possible without your openness. So, how did Bobby find himself in the picture? I vividly recall that you mentioned him in the first part? That was immediately after school, I was posted to Nasarawa for my NYSC. Fortunately, I got a rewarding offer with Access bank. Anyway, a cousin of mine introduced us. At first, I didn’t like the idea, but I felt it wouldn’t hurt anybody if we became friends. Interestingly, he was such a good talker, sweet-tongued, and disciplined. Obviously, the guy was more romantic than Desmond; I think that was the beginning of all my troubles because I was already getting distracted. So, was there stuff that didn’t match your criteria with this very new guy? Absolutely, what he lacked in physic, he made up in character. Apparently, two main things were a turn off: he was a chain smoker, and a heavy drinker: I knew the implication. Truth be tol
