Catherine
It took me a while to realise that if you want something you have to do it yourself, it was a wake up call that got to this point. I did the usual crap of waiting for a prince on a white horse, that every girl's head is filled with as a child. It was only when my prince came home one night and smashed my home and myself up that I realised that the fairytale is far from true. What we should be told, as a bedtime story is Cinderella told her sisters to bollox, moved out and got an education, earned the cash, moved into a semi-detached, bought a big dog and told Prince Charming she could do better.
Being very young and stupid I put up with it and did the "stand by your man" shit for a further seven years, but my Prince was a frog and was not turning back. I was 23 when I woke up and smelled the coffee. I used to get so angry when I realised just how pathetic I was, I felt like nothing for such a long time I really thought I was shit. Then something snapped - I got the police involved - no-one else was needed - to get him out.
I picked myself up left working at the hairdressers, got job in sales and joined a gym. I am not the sharpest tool in the box but I worked at it. I've now got a great home, car, a fit mind and body, an executive position at work and I'm also going to University doing a degree. It's all materialistic, but it's mine, I pick and choose how I want to live and I answer to no-one as I provide for myself. I used to think that I was beneath some people, but I look at them now and none of them are fit to lick the shit off my shoes. I now really see people for what they are. I don't have the time or the energy to spend with people who won't help themselves.
I know I can have anything I want and I don't have to be greatful or kiss arse to get it. I don't have to suffer fools, every second of my life is now precious to me and I don't intend to waste it on anyone who is of no significance. I am in control of my life--that is the biggest rush I have ever had and I don't intend to fuck it up anymore.
Yes! I want to read more from Real Life Heartless Bitches
