BITCHOLOGY

When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call me a bitch.
When I stand up for those I love, they call me a bitch.
When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do things my own way, they call me a bitch.
Being a bitch means I won't compromise what's in my heart. It means I live my life MY way. It means I won't allow anyone to step on me.
When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak against it, I am defined as a bitch. The same thing happens when I take time for myself instead of being everyone's maid, or when I act a little selfish.
It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I truly am and won't become anyone else's idea of what they think I "should" be. I am outspoken, opinionated and determined. I want what I want and there is nothing wrong with that!
So try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame, try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me. You won't succeed.
And if that makes me a bitch, so be it. I embrace the title and am proud to bear it.

I GOT THIS AS AN EMAIL, SO THE WORDS ABOVE ARE NOT MINE, ALTHOUGH I SHARE THE SENTIMENT. BE WHO YOU ARE. PROTECT YOUR SPACE. BE A BITCH IF NECESSARY, NOT JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN, BUT BECAUSE STAYING REAL IS WHAT WILL KEEP YOU CENTERED AND HAPPY. THANK YOU ANNIE FOR MAKING THIS POST EASY.
