Princess.

The other day I heard that a "friend" was talking about me behind my back, something I have never been a fan of.  As much as it sucks to hear things you don't necessarily want to hear, or think you need to hear, I would rather hear them directly to my face,  than through a grapevine.  At any rate, I got a text from someone regarding this person.  She had taken it upon herself to let my ex boyfriend know where I was at for New Year's Eve- she was at the same place.  Now, let me preface this story- her and the ex were never even close while we were dating so it isn't like it was important for her to text him and let him know that she saw me.  I had asked if she just randomly text him, he had then mentioned she began talking about me the other day and stated how I was mean and a princess. My first reaction was princess?! I define a princess as someone that is spoiled, doesn't appreciate anything, and expects the world to revolve around them. Having worked to support myself since I was 15, purchasing my own car, putting myself through college, working full-time jobs and going to school, moving out of home at 18, I don't classify myself with being a princess. I then began thinking, why do people waste their time talking about other people? Why do we let other people effect us so much that we spend countless hours talking about them but not to them? What I find humorous is that once I confronted this person- she denied even talking about me which clearly states to me that you aren't confident in your "princess" slander to say it to my face.

Well, it is 2012 and I am wiping the slate clean.  I am me and those that love me will appreciate me for being me.  That doesn't mean I am not charitable and aim to upset or hurt others but you can't live your life trying to impress others because you will end up unsatisfied.
