I originally saw this site several years ago when I was living on my
own after graduation, but didn't think I was Bitchy enough at the time. I
was still too wrapped up in being how I thought people wanted me to be.
In the last five years, I've changed. My ten year high school reunion
is coming up and I bet if I went people would wonder where that nice girl
went. Sorry, I don't live to please others any more. I know that at
the end of the day, I'm the one who has to look in the mirror and if I don't
like what I see, I can only blame myself. And you know, I like myself a
hell of a lot more now.
I'm married and I don't feel controlled. It's a fun relationship in
which we rely on each other, but we also have boundaries.
I don't hate men, but I don't want to be treated as less than someone else
with the same skills just because I am a woman.
I am strong and I am opinionated, but I want to hear others' opinions
because maybe they're right -- I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong.
I believe that the only way we will change this world for the better is by
being honest with the situation today and getting off our asses and doing
something about it.
I'm tired of these folks around me who Bitch about the country, the
government, the people on welfare, the homeless downtown, and yet they never
Bitch about the fuckers at the head of companies that are polluting the
environment and outsourcing American jobs just to cut costs.
I hate when people lump me into that "tree-hugging bleeding heart" group as
if all I've ever done in my life is follow what other people tell me to
think. If that were true, would I have gone against my parents' wishes and
gotten a liberal arts degree instead of training for a "real job"? Would I
have moved to another country on my own where I didn't speak the language?
Would I have gone back to school to become a teacher despite the low pay and
lower respect? Would I have chosen to change belief systems instead of
staying in the safe and respectable religion I'd been raised in?
Don't think you know me because you know my profession or my skin
color. I'm a hell of a lot more than my appearance: I have a brain, a
heart, and a sense of humor.
I don't put up with other people's shit unless I care about them, and then
they better be willing to put up with mine!
A lot of what I've read on your site rings true to me, and while I may not
be the most Heartless of Bitches... yet... I'm on my way.

Yes! I want to read more from Real Life Heartless Bitches
