I am Batman. Or Superman.

Being alone is something you can get used to... and that is sad. No one should ever be used to being alone every single goddamn day of her life. But then again, the most terrifying thing in the world is realizing that you do not have enough strength to make it on your own.

Independence is a good thing that a woman should carry around. An independent woman can go places without needing a guy to take him there. An independent woman can carry herself and impress the world because she is capable of doing shit. And independent woman does not need validation from anyone. And an independent woman doesn't fall apart whenever a guy decides not to be with her.

That's the woman I am trying to become.

It gets lonely sometimes, I admit it. But the feeling of being able to move the furnitures on my own, replacing the light bulb myself, carrying all the grocery bags from three blocks down to my condo and cooking whatever I feel like cooking without thinking of someone else's allergies are just amazing. And getting to wear the same hoodie and boxer shorts all weekend is a bonus! And oh, the toilet is always down like it's supposed to, that's a plus!

It wouldn't hurt to have someone pick me up after work, or someone I can call to help me open a jar of peanut butter, but I'm fine being on my own. I am my own Batman. And when I meet the man I would be cooking pancakes for, he would be my Robin. Whatever happens, I will always, always be my own hero. I mean, come on. I'm not a damsel in distress who needs saving. I'm a goddamn woman, I got this shit handled.
