I discovered Heartless Bitches International a few weeks ago and have been enthralled! Your site describes women who are self-fulfilled, dependent on no one, and full of spirit. I'd like to think that those terms also describe me.
I'll be 33 next week and I'm looking forward to more of life's
journey. Along the way I have made a lot of truly, startlingly, and
enormously stupid errors. And if I had not made them, I would not be the
benefactor of all this great life experience. It's not fun to go
through, but I never would have achieved anything if it hadn't
happened. It took a lot of hard work, and more than a few late
nights thinking about what I wanted my life to be like and what it was
going to take to get it I had to allow that the goals I had at 18 had
changed, and that I had to let them go. But mostly, I had to DO it.
That's the part that's hardest.
To me, being a "bitch" is about knowing who you are and what you want
- and pursuing those things vigorously. It's not about being mean to
others unnecessarily or copping an attitude. There is a difference
between saying what you really mean, and saying it in a way that is
offensive or painful to the receiver. I don't think the point is well
made when your words force the other person's reaction to be purely on
the emotional level, and skips the content.
Yes! I want to read more from Real Life Heartless Bitches
