i believe a woman goes through puberty twice in her life. the first one, the one everyone is familiar with, is the only one she will ever be told about or prepared for. they will have powerpoint presentations on how to be kind, be a woman, bleed only for 7 days, no more. and for gods sake, stay pure. no one tells them that when they reach the echoing ages of the 20's, their shoulders may begin to curl inward from the weight. you will no longer have innocence, nor lack it- so you have lost their interest. that you are not skinner or fatter than your 18 year old self, but you do not recognize your own hipbones anymore. and nobody warns them that this is not permanent either.
