BITCHES

You have never talked to me so you don't even know what I am like so how in the hell do you have the right to talk about me behind my back to all your friends. You have no idea what I go through everyday so you should all shut up because you have no idea how I feel or what I think I will never show it to you because I don't trust you. I dont need you in my life so have fun with all your friends making all your jokes because I really don't care what you think about me because I know I am better than you in everyway. I will not let you see when I am sad. You will never see a tear come out of these two hazel eyes. I won't because a tear would mean that you have defeated me and I will never let that happen I am better then that. I am stronger than that. You push me down but I get right back up. You cant cause me any more pain then you already have. I know all your dirty tricks. I've seen them all. I will never stay down when I fall and let you think you have defeated me you might feel like have but you never will I will not let you. What I have one imperfection and you have to pick on it what about all yours. I know what you all say. I don't give a **** anymore so feel free to say what you want because most of what you say are lies or exaggerations and I really don't care. Yeah I have problems but so do you. Why does it make you feel so great to hurt my feelings. Do I do that to you. I don't think so. I don't get any of you, why do you feel you have the right to pick on me just because I am different from you. What, if I don't look like you I am worth less. What, if I am smarter then you I don't matter. Well you know what I will never let you see the real me. Because if I let you in I will have no place to run. I will not end up like so many kids who kill themselves because of you. You cause so much pain and I hope one day you feel all the pain I have felt and then you will realize how much it hurts. I am strong and I am a fighter. You look at me like I am not worth living. You tell all your friends little lies about me. I hate the fact that most of you are so immature that you just listen to the lies instead of finding out the truth. I am a good person but few of you see that. Most of you are too worried about the way people look. It doesn't matter. You all say to hate liars but that is what you all are. You all need to learn just to be nicer. I am so tired of all you name calling and jokes I am just tired of it. I would never hurt anyone and I will never hurt myself because I am a fighter who will never be knocked down. I have grown as a person through all the **** I have been through. I now know that I am better then you because I never acted like it.

Provided they've made that choice for themselves? I've worked both as a Dominatrix and a a stripper in my life, and really enjoyed both. As a Dominatrix I enjoyed having my own business, making very good money, and I loved helping people accept and enjoy their sexuality. As a dancer, I made good money, got to pick and choose who I gave my time and attention to, and had a lot of fun learning pole dancing. So I find it a little insulting when other women say women are "exploited" by working in these industries, as if I was incapable of judging for myself and choosing my own path.

What are your thoughts?

...I can face my own problems with no sweat. Like i just see life as...things happen, you cope and move on. But when confronted with other people problems. i get stressed. And i withdraw myself. Maybe its cause i don't know how to help them? i'm not sure, but dealing with others problems is much harder than finding a solution to my own.

Is this the same for you?

It seems that central planning has greater management but less dynamic, while laissez faire economies have greater dynamics but less overall control, direction, and management. More people pulling in different directions.

Recently I went to church camp, I am the the religion that the camp was for but I went anyway. An older man was talking about a retreat that he had went on and how a "heavy metal" kid was conformed. The kid was sent on the retreat for a punishment. Once when he was there, he learned part of being a christian was not judging. Then he said "so thats what its all about? why didn't anyone tell me that" apparently, he was upset with people judging him based on his appearence. A currently have no religion, but when people hear I am not christian at camp they tend to think I have no morals, why is that?
