“Bitch” by Meredith Brooks.
I was young, maybe pre-teen, when this song came out and to this day, I jam out every time I hear it.
There have been so many times that I was called difficult or other crude names and this song always reminds me that I can be one thing to one person and a completely different person to another. It helped me know that it was okay to have a bad day and get back on track the next day.
I grew up with a lot of expectations about my behavior and a lot of emphasis on making sure I was perceived a certain way. I think most women are. This song told me that I should find a partner that can handle the whole range of me. That if they cannot handle me on a bad day, then they do not deserve me on a good day.
It is a good anthem.
