Why hormonal people are the best...

I love hormonal people. Really. I do. I’m not being sarcastic.

You want evidence? I voluntarily taught toddler and middle school girls in my past professional life. Oh yeah… middle school girls. Yup. I’m a glutton for hormonal punishment.

Did you know that the hormonal influxes of a toddler are the same (in relative size) as those for a teenager? I read that somewhere and I totally believe it.  One minute happy, the next in turmoil. A moment of perfection, then WHAM… total and utter devastation. And no, it’s not all women. I know plenty of women that are emotionally stable. I just don’t happen to be one of them. Wait, very few of my close friends are either. Hmmm… I wonder if that means something.

So, why do I love hormonal people? I’m so glad you asked.

1-      You never wonder where you stand with them. Really. This is huge. None of this “I’m fine” BS, followed by a passive aggressive consequence later, when you least expect it. Why wait when you could inform that person of your feelings right now? And while being the recipient of a hormonal person’s monologue may not be fun… at least you know what they think. It’s better than the alternative.

2-      Their emotion is a driving force unlike no other. Think about an untimed race. Do you hurry? No way... why would you rush? It’s not like there’s a reason. You’d take your time. But emotions are high stake and provide a fantastic incentive to a finish line, even if that finish line is only in your head.  Hormonal/emotional people are capable of achieving huge goals when they are driven by their desires. I’ve both seen it and experienced it.

3-      They make you feel more comfortable in your current, fabulous, flawed state. They are REAL. They flip out over events that don’t warrant the time and attention. They cry like hell at sappy movies. They make bad choices and have to apologize for them later. It’s much easier to be happy, just the way you are, when you are with them.

4-      They say the funniest things. And if they have sense of humor to appreciate it, you can tease them about it later. That’s so much fun… as long as you are willing to be teased back at some later point.

 Are you a fellow victim of the crazy hormones? You are? Great!!!!! Happy to know you!
