Being a Heartless Bitch is not about being a cold an uncaring person, it is about caring and not giving up on yourself or others, even when their stupidity or your own seems overwhelming!
There are some people who apply the word bitch to any woman who doesn't conform to the male perspective of what she should be. Screw them!
I've lived like that--the good little conformist. Thank goodness that as I've gotten older and wiser I've learned that living like that is living a lie. Hell, it's not really living at all. I'm just not going to do it any more.
I am not afraid to confront bullshit when I hear it. I'm not afraid to tell a friend when I think he or she has sat on the pity pot just a little too long. I'm not afraid to stand alone as a different kind of individual, no matter what anyone else may say or think of me for being different.
I'm the single parent at the PTA meeting no one wants to talk with because I am single, and they think that makes me less of a parent. That doesn't stop me from attending because I know that what is important is not what they think with their little, closed minds but what is happening in my child's school.
I'm the woman where you work who tells everyone just what she thinks when you ask her for her opinion. I'm also the woman at your office who doesn't stop trying to improve herself just because others label her as ambitious or a go-getter.
I'm your best friend, who when you need the shoulder to cry on, offers it gladly and without reservation, but who will also tell you when it's time to get off the pity pot. I'm the friend who always makes time to listen and always tells it to you straight, even when you don't want to hear it.
I'm the motorist who stops to offer you assistance when you have that flat tire in the middle of rush hour and who just laughs when you say that women don't know a thing about changing tires. Little do you know that I'm the flat tire queen and on a good day, I can have that puppy changed and ready to go in under 30 minutes. So, cut the chitchat and let me get to work!
I'm different. I'm unique. I won't conform. I won't be what you want me to be. I'm not here to live your life for you. I'm not here to be the stars to your moon. Your emotions are not my responsibility, nor is your life, and if you can't deal with that, start walking now. Call me a bitch if you will, and even throw in the word heartless, but know that nothing you say will change who I am.
Yes! I want to read more from Real Life Heartless Bitches
