Megan
Ever since I was little, I've had a knack for finding four-leaf clovers. This summer, after I plucked one out of the grass, a friend who'd been watching me questioned me about it. She said she'd never found one in her life, and wanted to know how I had.
"Have you ever looked?" I asked.
She looked surprised by the idea, and I took it for a no.
"Hun, you'll never find one if you don't look. Sometimes life is about making your own luck."
People think I'm lucky... that I lead a charmed life. Maybe that's so, but if it is, then it's for two reasons: I've made my own luck, and I don't whine if I can't. I'm ambitious, independent, and assertive. If there's a way to get what I want by my own means, then I'll find it. If I can't, I don't cry over it. If someone wants to know 'how I do it', I tell them. If they can't keep up, too bad for them.
I don't whine. I go through the same crap as everyone else, but I deal with it and move on. Nothing bugs me quite like someone will ANGRILY shove a sob story down your throat, as if to say "See? See what I've been through? Beat that! Or bow down to me for surviving it!" I refuse to participate in this contest. My trials and tribulations are my own - they're not ammunition for this stupid game of "Who’s had it worse?" Life is for living! Survive the dark parts, and live for the good!
(Incidentally, I've been of this opinion for a long time. However, I just recently read "Eric's Rant about Pity Parties" on your site, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I certainly tried to put my feelings in my own words, but I have to give him a shout out for his awesome rant. Thank God someone knows how I feel!)
So how does that all make me HBI material? Well, truth be told, I don't always understand it, but if I'm gonna be called a Bitch for being myself, then I may as well own the title!
