A couple of weeks ago, I was reading a magazine article about the mid-life changes that women go through, and how it can be compared to middle school and the changes that young girls encounter when entering puberty. You know, physical, hormonal, and emotional changes that make them act so unbearable one minute, and exceedingly giddy the next. Those changes.

I thought I’d take a closer look just for kicks.

All these changes confound the young mind. Most of the time the kids don’t realize what is going on. Not so with us adults. We know what’s going on, and we know that we can’t stop it.

In middle school, your physical changes take the form of budding breasts and developing hips. You get curvier and softer. And the boys notice. Fast forward to mid-life. Your breasts need the assistance of an expensive, yet very pretty bra to keep from resting on your belly, which by the way has gotten softer and rounder (unless you have payed homage to the exercise and diet gods by following their rules consistently).

In middle school, your hormones are ramping up. You start your period, and become aware of sexuality, with all of the confusing and enticing feelings that it brings. You are becoming a woman. Mid-life means that things are powering down and it is the end of your ability to procreate. Um- YAY! (Of course, it also means that your sex life will change, but that’s nothing a little lube and lots of foreplay won’t cure.)

And finally, in middle school, your emotions are all over the place. Happy, angry, defiant, sad, all within a matter of minutes. Do I even need to make the connection here?

So bring on the changes, ’cause unlike middle school, you already have a pretty good idea of who you are and what you are going to do with the rest of your life.

Happy Friday APOOO.
