Picture this: it's a beautiful spring afternoon. The sun is shining, but the temperature under the shade of a blossoming dogwood tree is perfect for a lazy picnic with the girlies. You're drinking an Aperol spritz, the birds are singing, and your head is tilted back in laughter as your friend relays the tale of the time that a Tinder boy brought her handcuffs on their very first date. Suddenly, you feel it. It starts as a dull, uncomfortable ache, just under your bellybutton. But as it intensifies, you realize you've felt this nagging little pain all day, and you've been choosing to ignore it. But the time of reckoning has come; Aunt Flo will not be ignored.

As the pain intensifies, you feel a familiar warmth between your legs. Your laugh catches in your throat as you realize that the stars have aligned against you, and you are indeed wearing your favorite pair of white shorts. Your friends look at you with concern as you sit there, frozen, afraid to make any sudden movements. Finally, you plead, "Does anyone have a tampon?" Your besties sigh with empathy at your plight. One friend hands you a feminine product from her purse, another offers you her jacket to tie around your waist, and another friend pulls out her phone to show you something. It's me. I'm your friend. I may not have a hot water bottle for your cramps, but I do have some memes to ease the mental pain.
