Everyone that knows me knows that I am self sufficient and independent. I tend to get complaints on it from the more conservative people I meet that still believe women should be dependent and submissive.
If something in my life isn't working (the job I'm at, the career choice I've made, the relationship I'm in), instead of whining about it, I'll work to change it. I guess you could say that I get shit done. I take care of what I need to do to survive happily in life, stay responsible for my own actions and reactions, and try to be a good friend to the handful of people on the planet I can stand to call friends.
I've always had a job since I was 14 (I'm almost 28 now), pay my own bills, pay for my own dinner/movie, and expect those around me to pull their own share. It's scary how many people can't handle it. But I have to admit, it is fun to mock those people. Grow a pair of wrinklies and get shit done, people.
I tend to enter into male dominated career fields (right now I'm an embalmer) because breaking stereotypes is more than just fun for me. Since I'm not the marrying and settling down type, it gives me a bit of purpose and it makes my mark in the world. When I go on a removal by myself, I often hear remarks about how surprised they are that they sent one woman to do the job when usually they send two men. Then I do the transfer from the bed to the cot, and then put the cot in the van by myself and prove them all wrong. It feels pretty damned good.
I'm happy single and alone, and even when I'm in a good relationship, I still require a decent amount of _me_ time. I've seen my mother and my sister change their whole opinions on music, movies, and other entertainment just because their significant other is into it. I've seen my brother change religions just to make his girlfriend happy. I refuse to do such nonsense. I keep an open mind about things other people like as long as they aren't insanely retarded, but I remain true to my opinions and myself.
