One word: Thanks!

I really appreciated that. It's amazing. Truly amazing. I've been trying to explain that to everyone. My brother says "oh all you need is five minutes of exercise each day...that'll help" and I know he's trying to be nice but...it would take me fifteen minutes to get what others would get in five. Nice try brother. He's a sweetheart, but he doesn't understand. I feel you. I'm so sorry you had an arrogant friend who seems to have only cared about you since you "used to be hot." He can go boil in oil. I bet you are an amazing women inside and out. I'd like to trip him...but I'm not violent, so I'll leave you the space to do that if you care to. If not I understand.

While I was reading I was thinking "Why can't they do a version of PCOS Monologues like they do with the Vagina Monologues?" Heck...this is important. My college did a showing and still does, every single year. Last year....I got angry. They were talking about the same usual stuff and it was very good, until they end. They changed it to something about the war and I was like...."But....huh? I thought this was the Vagina Monologues...not a debate". I was confused. Maybe you should start writing things like this more and more. There should be something along the lines of your writing performed. I think if more people knew...they might get it. Some will never understand I think but...with this type of art form, performing it like monologues maybe it will work. I got to thinking at that performance that night "They should explain something like breast cancer...something that really matters..." but...maybe they should incorporate everything. Everything that makes us feel less like women. I think it would help. I loved your essay. Once again...it was amazing.
