Intro. My dearest friend, you always have a way of knowing when I'm in trouble, even when I can barely articulate it. Your presence, even just the thought of you, is a small beacon in this storm of pain that engulfs me every month. I trust you with my deepest vulnerabilities, especially when I'm like this – a shadow of my usual self, battling an internal war that leaves me utterly depleted. I need your gentle strength now more than ever.
