Everyone in the entertainment business always says “any press is good press.” It’s such a true statement, but a hard one to get through. My last article that I wrote got as much backlash as it did good remarks. It’s hard to be the person that’s on the other end of the "bad press".
It wouldn’t bother me too much if it were just random people making comments, but it's not just them. It is also others that are closer to me, and whose opinions I don't take lightly. So, I’m here to address all the buzz that my previous article has caused.
The last article I wrote wasn’t about being a sl*t or sleeping around. It was about being a girl that’s finding out who she is, and doing it in a manner that people aren’t used to. For example, being single all the time and being perfectly OK with talking to different guys! Let's all be honest who doesn’t enjoy flirting? Well, news flash: even girls who are single enjoy it. Those girls just don't want to be tied down so instead of just one guy for years, they bounce around from flirting with different guys.
I was expressing in my own way and a way that I knew others could relate to how I felt about the double standards. I understand that when parents read the words f*ckgirl, and f*ckboy that they think of sex, and other things that may follow with those kinds of words! That isn’t the definition of it, and the readers I’m trying to reach aren’t those who are in a committed relationship, parents, or girls trying to find “the one.”
I was trying to reach the girls that get called terrible names because they enjoy being single, having fun, and doing whatever it is they want. If that’s wanting to sleep with guys, GO FOR IT! If it’s them wanting to just go out and have fun at the bar flirting with multiple guys to only go home alone to their dog, THEN DO IT! Because honestly, I’ve noticed that no matter who, how or what you do, if you’re single and flirt with multiple guys or talk to multiple guys you automatically get plastered with the word f*ckgirl.
My last article was to say that it is okay to be considered that because who cares! It was about owning who you are, and doing whatever it is you want! The backlash I got from that article was something I’m not used to. I have been so used to getting great feedback, and not reading a single terrible comment until I had a few people call me giving me lectures about my life, and how to live it. Well, the thing is people, I am me, and whoever I want to be! I don’t need anyone telling me how to live my life, and neither does any other girl whether they be a f*ckgirl, a conservative girl, or a girl that’s in an extremely committed relationship!
The reason an article hasn’t been written like this one before is because of the fear of what people are going to say! I took on the challenge of writing something I knew could go either way, and I am very proud of that article and stand by it!
If you don’t agree with it, then, by all means, voice your opinion but don’t voice it to me because I don’t care. I’m proud of it, I’m proud of who I am, and I am allowed to be whoever I want to be. So let me, and all those other girls who agreed with me on my piece, be who we want to be no matter how you feel! Thank you.
