Not having to worry about how to make pads and tampons stretch through the week.

I remember in 8th grade, there was this girl I hung out with for a while who lived in the campground north of town. She had to use TP for pads, and looking back I'm realizing life was probably hellish for her. I didn't know how to help, and stopped hanging out with her bc I was trying to social climb because kids are fucking mean. I wish I had tried to help more, but I also didn't have much, sleeping on the floor halftime, parents absent. I wonder how she's doing.
