I'm a Heartless Bitch because I'm sick and tired of being labeled "too independent"; whatever-the-fuck that means. I'm too independent because I work and pay my own bills. I'm too independent because I choose to keep my home life and my "man life" separate (no, you can't come over and spend the night - I'm a single mom). I'm too independent because I have never cared what people said or thought about me.

In a rare moment of weakness, I once asked my best man-friend of 30 plus years why he thought I didn't have a man in my life. He told me that its because I'm too independent. (That is what started the whole "too independent" thing for me. I never knew that there was such a thing.) I verbally smacked the crap out of him and asked him, WHAT'S THE FUCKING ALTERNATIVE BOBBY? He said he didn't know for sure but that men want to feel like they're needed. He said I don't make men feel like I need them. Needed for what, exactly? I don't need a man for his money. I don't need a man to cut the grass or get the oil changed in my car. I pay people to do that. I already know that I'm sexy and smart and funny and lovable, so I don't need a man to convince me of that either. Why isn't wanting a man who will be my best friend and fuck my brains out on a regular basis enough? Am I really expected to dumb it down and pretend to be helpless to get that? Well I'm NOT doing that and if being independent means that I will die alone with a couple of cats and a bottle of gin for company then so be it. I don't have the luxury of being a weak sniveling female right now. I have a kid to put through college.
