A friend sent me this..I thought it was appropriate for my feelings of late.

Bitchology
When I stand up for myself and my beliefs,
I'm called a bitch.
When I stand up for those I love,
I'm called a bitch.
When I speak my mind,
think my own thoughts
or do things my own way,
I'm called 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'm 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 courage to be ME
I 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 go ahead .
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.
