(Why am I a Heartless Bitch?) I'll give you one example to begin with, though I will tell you many others in the future... Firstly, I am a singer/songwriter who writes angry/sad songs on her cello. I refused, when my child was born 2 years ago, to give in to the immense societal and personal pressure to get a "real" job and provide for my child. I think the best way to provide for my child is to show him he has a mum who follows her absent heart and passions. I am supported by my husband, also a struggling artist (No sympathy please. It's just the way the world works. Lawyers, doctors and stock brokers...you get the money. We artists get the free beer. Works out in the end!)
Anyways, despite the fact that mum, dad and most of my acquaintances look at me with distain (and perhaps a little jealousy) we go about our lives heartlessly pursuing art even though it makes me broke and fearful for my shelter.
I am also Heartless because, unlike the rest of my family, who dote on my alcoholic brother, I have no contact with him and intend not to until he stops acting like a complete asshole to everyone he knows. This has outcast me from family gatherings because I am likely to tell him to "shut the fuck up" in the middle of a very proper English family gathering.
I hope these examples will meet your scrutiny fellow bitches.
Yes! I want to read more from Real Life Heartless Bitches
