I never consciously considered myself to be a Heartless Bitch until I ran across Heartless Bitch International - at 46 I've known how I am and who I am for a good long while, but I never imagined there would be an official (and positive!) tag for it.
I'm a cross between Doris Day and Miss Piggy: positive and cheerful, but if someone goes over the line ******WHACK!****** I hate rudeness, I'm very protective of the small and the weak, and I'm kind until there is a reason to stop being so. I have a lot of patience, and generally give people plenty of rope to hang themselves. Why? I don't want to be precipitous, I need to remove all doubt that someone is a fool - but when I'm certain, they're finished (and I'm finished with them).
When I was younger I didn't believe in myself, I wanted someone to lead me. Now I know that it's up to me to lead myself (and not infrequently other people as well). Taking responsibility and doing the right thing is very important to me. I know I'm strong, and I use this to help myself and to help the people I care about. When I'm not always as strong as I want to be, when I fail (of course it happens!) I refuse to blame others but look at myself to learn and then become stronger for it.
Yes! I want to read more from Real Life Heartless Bitches
