My Black is NOT Cracking.

I'm not Aging. I'm appreciating in value!

THIS IS A LONG ONE YA’LL. But I’m super proud of it, so I hope you will keep reading!!! I became interested in screenwriting while working for an LA film production company.  One of the owners was a writer, and the other two partners were producers. Loved those guys.

Aging in many ways can be very liberating. It’s like you reach this IDGAF (I don’t give………) age where all the stupid stuff that used to bother you, no longer does.  You have bigger fish to fry, like remaining healthy and alive!

This is for the ladies!  Sorry fellas. (But, you might find this interesting, so by all means, read on.) So, personal question.  When’s the last time you got any?  Okay, this is for my menopausal sisters.  When’s the last time you wanted any?
