I am a strong, hardworking and resourceful women who values her independence. I take great pride in my successes because I know that I have worked damned hard to achieve everything I have today. I work full time, I attend college part time - where I'm getting straight As. I bought my house three years ago at the age of 22; I was the first of my friends to do so. I'm going to start a degree in the Autumn, not because I need to prove my intelligence to the rest of the world, I'm doing it for my own satisfaction, I want to be proud of myself, I don't need the approval of others to be a valuable human being.
In general I believe a Heartless Bitch to be a strong, independent woman, who believes in herself and who works hard to achieve her goals. She has principles and high standards and is in control of her life. She has dignity, pride and the same attitude as my mother - whose motto in life is "I am me, if you don't like that - tough!"
However I do believe that there should be room in the Heartless Bitch's life for a little gratitude - the vast majority of women on this site live in developed nations. They have access to birth control, they are free to work, to vote, they can leave the house unchaperoned. They have legal rights; they are not considered to be merely their husband's chattels. They are entitled to an education, to health care and to be whoever they want to be. Not only should we be bloody grateful for this, we should ensure that we should acknowledge the struggle previous generations of women to achieve these rights by making the most of ourselves.
Being a Heartless Bitch isn't about being bitchy about another person, fair enough we all do it, we may get a kick out of it, I'll be the first to admit my guilt, but on the whole it doesn't benefit us. You can whine and bitch if you want, you can even go on Jerry and tell the world, but what will you achieve by doing so? Far better to put your energy into people who are actually worth the time of day.
It's the same if you dwell on the past. We all know that sometimes bad things happen to good people (oh shit, I sound like Oprah,), but you have to get over it, move on, and make something of yourself. Life isn't always easy, but ultimately only you can ensure that you make the most of it. If there are people in your life that cause you hassle and stress or whom you find yourself bitching about, then they probably shouldn't be in your life.
Make the most of your life, live it like a true Heartless Bitch! I certainly intend to.
