Bitchology

This is an old e-mail that I've seen a thousand times - but it just fit my mood so perfectly today - I just had to share!

When I stand up for myself or 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 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.
