About five years ago, I was an avid reader of Heartless Bitches. I had fallen in love with the concepts, but couldn't quite grasp it in practice. I never attempted an application before because I was pretty certain it would end up on Weak of the Week or something like that. But my life has changed considerably in the last few years due to my own persistence and strength of mind and I thought, hey what the hell. Lets apply to be a Heartless Bitch and see how I do.
I've pulled myself out of suicidal depression, survived four hospitalizations due to a variety of stress-induced autoimmune disorders, and finally broke out of a long, dramatic cycle of unhealthy relationships. I opted to be single, secure, unattached to outcomes, and most of all HAPPY before "accidentally" stumbling across a relationship and the career that I was meant for. I wanted peace of mind bad enough to stop wanting it..and then it found me.
I feel like I've paid my dues, and if any jealous, immature, self absorbed whiney person tries to make me feel guilty for being happy when they aren't, I now have enough of a sense of who I am to not let them drag me down.
I don't really feel like I've got it all figured out, but I am definitely solid in who I am as a creative force and as a caregiver. I am a part-time songwriter and have independently released two albums of original music and am working on a third. In a month, I will be starting medical school. I've repaired the tumultuous post-adolescent problems I had with my parents, and learned to forgive and move on. Life is too short to be pissed and sad all the time, and I won't let anybody take that away from me now.
