I’m a slutty bitch.
So I’ve recently been told.
Apparently it’s an insult.
But I don’t see it that way.
It means I did something right.
It means I stood up for myself & set healthy boundaries.
It means I tried to talk about issues in a relationship that were hurtful.
It means I gave someone every chance to work on things, so we could improve & grow together.
It means I gave the benefit of the doubt time after time, over the course of months.
Sometimes years.
It means someone disregarded my boundaries.
And the bullying or neglect continued.
It means I gave up & walked away for my own well being & peace of mind.
It means I’m better off without that person in my life.
Yes. I am a slutty bitch.
That title is my badge of honour.
Next time, it won’t take me so long to recognize a dysfunctional relationship.
Next time I won’t give so many chances or wait so long to walk away.
Next time, I’ll be a slutty bitch again.
I’m ok with that.
* This is the first in a series of posts I’ll be sharing to show what it’s like being a woman gamer online. I didn’t really want to start this series with something sooo in your face, but it’s good timing with current life events. And let’s face it… this is what it’s really like out there for women gamers. This is the ugly side. Sadly there will be much more to come.
** We are not slut-shaming here in any way, shape or form! I’ll address that in another post too!
