Getting older and whatyagonnado?
There is something easier about being with a woman in this period of my life. The hot flashes, the rage and edginess, the everything else that menopause brings on. With a man, I was reluctant to speak honestly about these things because it seemed diminishing of my sexuality, my attractiveness, and everything else that goes between males and females.
The thing is that I’m still the same person but instead of young and ignorant and having my period every month and ovulating mid cycle and having the possibility of getting pregnant, now instead it’s hot flashes, thirst, edginess, lack of focus, memory lapses. But, I’m still cute.
When my 50th birthday comes up, I’m going to celebrate LIFE because we are always and never prepared for what comes next. Not looking forward to the next thing in life shows a lack of imagination. You think your next lover is going to be like all the rest? You think your friends are going to stay in the same square holes you’ve assigned them? You think your house, your job, your family, your body, your mind, your world are all static? Think again.
BAM, POW, VAVOOM – life has a way of surprising you. Believe that.
