By: A real woman going through Menopause!

To exist is to change, to change is to mature,
to mature is to go on creating oneself
endlessly—
There are many dynamics that affect
the libido of a woman, this is not breaking
news. We have spent the first half of our life
attempting to figure out the mind and body
connection. How we feel directly affects our
sexual desires, it is sad, but true. Feeling
claustrophobic while excessively sweating
and toting around ten extra pounds of
weight subsequently adding pressure to your
already tender joints is no walk in the park
and speaking of walk in the park—who has
the energy for that?
The preceding symptoms are particularly
uncomfortable and quite irritating to say the
least, but they are temporary.
With this change comes freedom, gone are
the days where I live in fear of missing a
day of my birth control pill. Yes, it is true
birth control pills have been replaced with
menopause supplementation and I
have outsourced my lubrication to Johnson
& Johnson, nonetheless, I am free. I may
have lost my ability to reproduce but I have
not lost my appetite for sex. Not only have
I released my last egg I have released a new
me and with this a newer version of the old
me has been revealed. Without change there
would be no butterflies, correct?
This is my time and with this time I am going
to take the skills I have developed through
the first half of my life and put them to
even better use, sans the fear of becoming a
mother once again.
