As you get older, struggles become real and shit starts to happen to you (not just to writers, but to the entire population).
Without getting too personal—and grossing you right out—I can tell you that not every orifice in your body is made for bleeding. If it does happen (blood seeping out of a hole it’s not supposed to), that is NOT normal. Lucky for me, this started to happen to my body. You’ll see why I say lucky, instead of unlucky quite soon.
I waited three weeks before calling the doctor’s office because seriously, I was just hoping it would stop or disappear. Silly? I know.
