Why am I sharing this

Before I go back to the story, i want to explain, why i have decided to share it. It's very simple - because I remember feeling so along and so not understood. And then I learned just how many of us have to go through this - and it put me even in a more of a shock - if this is so common, why people don't talk about it more openly? Why it's such a taboo? And although I do realize that I might not have much power into shifting society to be more fair and more open and more considerate about it, that's ok. As long as I can hope that I will have at least one single woman feel less along and more understood.
