In my life, I come first. I can't stand those people who sit on their asses waiting around for some mythical prince charming, or fairy godmother to come along and take care of them, it's not going to happen, and if it does, what kind of self esteem can that build? They've done nothing for themselves, so the accomplishment is not their own. Essentially, they are just parasites, and who wants to be that? This goes along with my whole rampage against co-dependency--I actually know people that cannot function when they are not in relationships. Independence is a strength, even when I'm in a romantic relationship I make it perfectly clear that I need to spend time not being around that person [really, can you spend every waking moment with someone and not get sick of them or go stark raving mad?] I tend to be brutally honest. Really, life is too short to waste time sugar coating some things. If someone is acting like a jackass...tell them--in the long run they'll probably thank you. Besides if you let them continue on they may pass on their bad habits to others. In my life, settling is not an option, I want to be on the top of the heap and nothing is going to stop me. I have such a hard time understanding people whose life happiness can be achieved by living in the suburbs with a house, a couple cars, a spouse and 2.5 kids. I'd rather live in a one room apartment, eating canned corn, and working two jobs to stay in the game than settle for comfort and predictability in a world where I will have to life every day of the rest of my life knowing that there is something more out there but I'm not reaching for it.
Yes! I want to read more from Real Life Heartless Bitches
