Colleen
I am strong and independent, intelligent and hard working. I know what I want and will work my ass off to get it. I enjoy my own company, and don't mind saying I have plans to spend time alone. My friends are the best friends in the world, because we respect each other's individuality and love each other for it. I have no tolerance for people who generalize and stereotype, or for those who refuse to learn. Stupidity is an accident of nature, but ignorance is cultivated. I love my kids, I love my husband, and I love myself, but my world does not revolve around them, or me, for that matter. I don't mind if you need to vent, but then you need to do something about it. I have spent a lifetime learning from my mistakes, have no time for those who refuse to grow. I respect intelligence and kindness, despise mean and disrespectful behavior. I appreciate good manners. I refuse to complain about my life; I'd rather spend my energy fixing the things I can, and editing the things I can't. I do not cultivate friendships or relationships with overly needy people, but if a friend is in need, they can count on me. I am the ultimate defender of my children and my friends, my husband, and myself, but since they are all strong people as well, they really don't need me much! I keep people around me because I enjoy their company, no one makes me "complete,"--I do a fine job of completing myself, thank you very much. The words "You changed my life" or "You make me so happy" are like warning bells, RUN! I will be respected for who I am and not for what you want me to be. I will not change my hair, wear make up, lose weight, or skip dessert to fit in with someone else's image of womanhood, but I will do all of the above if I want to.
Yes! I want to read more from Real Life Heartless Bitches
