So I’m going to start a thread of how stupid I was as a kid lmaooo

I was 9 yrs old when I “became a woman” and didn’t even know it
I was playing with my cousins who were visiting and I was holding in my pee like a dumbass
So I go to the bathroom and do my business

Once I’m done, I look down to clean myself and I see this big stain and I’m freaking out bc I’m wondering why the fuck I’m bleeding and how could I possibly have hurt myself down there. I yelled for my stepmom and she was all calm meanwhile I’m like wtf is wrong with this bitch

She helps me figure the process of the pads and tampons and whatever and my dad and uncle and aunt come back from having done shopping and my stepmom tells them that I got my period bc ofc there’s no secret in a Spanish household

I deadass get congratulated for having bled and get told that I’m now a woman and that there are things in my life that will be a little different than what I’m used to. Meanwhile my mind is wondering wtf I have to change about my life

My aunt starts calling my grandmother in Perú and all our other family members about how I’m a woman now bc I got my period and by this point I’m freaking out even more, right, about what it means be a woman

My bitch ass starts crying bc I’m 9 yrs old and getting told that I’m now a woman so I’m thinking that i have to find a job, have a car, drop elementary school and go straight to college, get married, and have kids and eventually die

Like I’m deadass thinking that come tmrw morning I’m going to be 45 yrs old with my life all in order and all these things that a woman should do and be done and I’m hysterically crying

My aunt at this point is like “why are you crying? This is so exciting” meanwhile I didn’t think it was exciting at all and I tell her everything that I’m thinking and this bitch starts laughing at me to the point that tears are falling down her face

She then lectures me about the joys of womanhood and how all the things I described take time yada yada yada but my dumbass really thought I’d have my life together at 9

Moral of the story; I’m 22 and I don’t have a car but i have a driver’s permit (bad, i know), I finished elementary, middle and high school and am in college, I’m not married, I don’t have kids and I will die but I don’t have my life all figured out by 70% so it’s all good

Like I deadass still remember the date too: June 4th, 2005 was the day I became a “mujercita”
