another heartwarming, thought-provoking nugget of wisdom from the internet

My male coworker, Simba, forwarded this to me two hours ago from the work computer and has asked me ten times since he sent it if I've read it yet. I didn't have to read it because I heard him read it all out loud to some woman he was talking to on his cell phone. He laughed at the end and said "That's tight! That's hella tight." To translate: he thinks it's pretty interesting and accurate. And he wanted to share it with me so I could also be entertained and enlightened. Thanks Simba, this is so deep.

This is one more reason why I have to get the fuck out of here. The people are embarrasingly stupid. Enjoy:

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.

B - Babe
I - In
T - Total
C - Control of
H - Herself

B = Beautiful
I = Intelligent
T = Talented
C = Charming
H = Hell of a Woman

B = Beautiful
I = Individual
T = That
C = Can
H = Handle anything

P.S. -- they call me a bitch because I'm sometimes nasty and mean. But that's just me.
