Fourth contest entry!

From Queen Bitch of the Universe:

"Rollercoaster--

"Do you think you should do something about this? There are a lot of things that you could do, but sometimes the cure is worse than the disease. I think what you should do is be very careful
as far as doing anything. Would cutting yourself cause you more problems in the long-run as opposed to something drastic like taking hormones that would prevent you from getting your period?

"I think you should keep learning about how this problem affects women. And how it affects yourself. Did you see the studies where woman on birth-control made different choices in men than they did when not on bc? Taking any kind of drug could alter your very essence.

"I think you should continue to monitor your pattern. You've already figued-out how it works, maybe you can find ways to make it work for you? So, you have a tendency to want to cut yourself to relieve some of the pressure? Would accupuncture do the trick in your case? Or, do you need a blood-release? Or pain? Have you tried chocolate? Or Wicca?

"There is a reason that women's bodies are made like this. What you are experiencing is normal. How you deal with it will affect your future, and possibly the future of the world. It is a gift and a curse (a real one). Please choose carefully! And welcome to the circle."

Hmm. Interesting. More?
