Now that 2021 is kicking me out — after I’ve battled illnesses, the Nigerian government, NYSC (they’re winning) and a few other powers in high places — all I can say is that it was all a little easier because someone, at some point, showed me some kindness. Thank you so much for reading my letters all year long. It’s been fun writing them, and I hope we can do this again next year 🤍.

After 123 straight days on her period, [this 23-year-old]( decided to undergo surgery. There’s plenty more in the oven. Grab anything from our [10 must-read]( What She Said stories, and (hopefully) feel less alone. --------------------------------------------------------------- 2.
