Jeanette
Many people have called me a bitch, but I never cared much what it was I
was doing to earn the title. Only recently have I realized it was the
simple fact I refuse to lie down, conform, smile and nod to those I find
objectionable. I'll challenge them indiscriminately. I never would have
dreamed that would be considered a flaw! From what I understand it's
because I am under the crazy impression I deserve to be treated with
respect and equality! Perhaps labeling me "bitch" is just a way of
dismissing me, making me easier to categorize in narrow minds.
I am an artist by profession. Of course I've had people telling me since
the beginning that I couldn't make a living as an artist. If I were
stupid, perhaps I would have listened to them instead of believing in
myself. I would eventually have shared their cubicle hell if that were
the case. I don't put much stock into what others say if I look at their
lives and see Shit. I never assume I know better then anyone, but I do
know better than they could possibly about what is good for myself.
Another example: My family tries to convince me I just have to have
kids, stating that I'm not a woman if I don't want to (what the fuck?).
I don't care. I'll grunt at them if they are lucky. If they are unlucky
and I am in a bad mood, they get to be on the losing side of a show
down. Shutting them down has become a bit routine and oh so boring
lately. Their lonely personal lives are enough evidence against them
alone. They can have their shitty diapers, screaming brats and vacuous
husbands. They are free to call me whatever names they please. I could
give two shits. I'm going to Europe for the summer while they're being
run ragged wrangling their brats and being ignored by their darling
husbands.
I don't feel I have to be apologetic for my views. I am what I am. I
don't get along with everybody with this personality, and I damned well
don't want to. I don't care to waste precious moments of my fleeting
life interacting with some ignorant, close-minded waste of resources. My
inner bitch is a fantastic tool- it weeds out the shit in my life and
leaves me with what I can proudly take away with me.
I hope that novel there wasn't too long- it said "in detail" so I was
detailed!
Thank you for your time.
Yes! I want to read more from Real Life Heartless Bitches
