I am a Heartless Bitch because I refuse to conform to anyone else's
idea of who I should be. I live in a average size southern city that is
progressive, but very much Old South. As a military brat I have been blessed to
have seen many different places, customs, and situations; especially concerning
family and gender roles. I am a stay at home mom and graduate student, who
refuses to conform to my community's ideology of what makes a good woman. I
married a man fifteen years my senior, and have had to stand up to his
emotionally unstable ex wife who bought a house two down from us. I have been
somewhat forced into confrontations with a few women from his social group that
not only are older but have always "belonged". I am a Heartless Bitch because,
in spite of my compassion and patience, I realize the only way to get respect is
to demand it!!!! I believe in honesty and bluntness...However, I do not believe
in dragging down others in order to make myself feel better or superior. And as
far as chick-lit or sappy movie-i cannot frickin' stand them!!! The only two
movies where I've cried like a baby are "Rudy" and "Brian's Song."
(Inspirational stories truly move me)
For my personal motto, I will be paraphrasing Margaret Atwood, "Above all
this, I refuse to be a victim, unless I can do this, I can do nothing."- MY take
on this quote is original. Alright, here goes, The only person that is truly in
charge of my fate or destiny, will be me. I am the person that loves me
unconditionally. I soothe myself to sleep, I have to be my own biggest fan. Self
reliance has to be what sustains me. I cannot stand people, especially women who
victimize themselves. To assume that I have been the only person violated, hurt,
disrespected, abused is absolutely asinine. Time for big girl panties (sorry, I
like that t-shirt) My philosophy is to be your own Hero.
