Jennifer
I was once a very naive little girl who thought that life just happened
to us. I guess I believed all those "shit happens" signs. To make a very
long story shorter, I wound up in an abusive marriage before I knew what
hit me. I mean I thought I did everything right, went to college, met a
nice guy, spent my time making him happy. What I wasn't doing was making
myself happy. I was doing everything for HIM. How could he possibly have
respected me? Anyway... one day it turned physical, and I finally saw it
for what it was. I could leave him or leave my life to Jerry Springer.
The day my divorce was finalized my best friend, (a Heartless Bitch
who's been with me for 22 of my 27 years), bought me a bottle of
champagne to celebrate. I am finally free. People used to always go on
and on about how nice I was. Now they call me bitch, but I see that as a
good thing. If I have something on my mind, you'll know it. I am done
keeping my mouth shut, my legs open, and dinner ready. My life is MINE,
I live it for ME, not for any man. I do have a man in my life now, but
he is a man I can respect because he loves and respects me for who I am,
mind, body, and soul. He knows that I am with him because he allows me
to be who I am at the risk of sounding sappy, there is true love out
there. It's just that most women are so desperate for ANY love that they
forget about a healthy relationship. The same kind of healthy
relationship we would DEMAND from our friendships. I don't look at men
any differently than I look at women. I think it's all the same. There
are all kinds of people in this world and basically if I don't feel a
person has SOMETHING to offer me (and I'm not talking money), then
they're not in my life anymore.
Yes, I am a Heartless Bitch, and I thank
God every day for it. It has set me free and shown me just a glimpse of
my full potential. (I'm still working towards it). I don't take any shit
from anyone anymore and I'm waiting for a bumper sticker that says,
"When shit happens, step over it and walk out the door".
Yes! I want to read more from Real Life Heartless Bitches
