Ariana Grande doesn't belong to anyone, but Ariana Grande.
The 21 year-old songstress posted an essay via Twitter yesterday talking about her career, double standards, and her ex beau Big Sean. The essay starts off with "being 'empowered'... is not the same as being a 'bitch'..."
The singer doesn't want to be referred to as 'Big Sean's ex.' "I am tired of living in a world where women are mostly referred to as a man's past, present or future PROPERTY/POSSESSION. I... do not. belong. to anyone. but myself. and neither do you."
Since her break up with Big Sean in April, she has been having a good time on tour, working her "ass off every single day", and getting the chance to meet and hug her fans.
She's also content with being single. "I have never felt more present, grounded, and satisfied."
When it comes to double standards and misogyny, she said that she "can't wait to live in a world where people are not valued by who they're dating/ married to/ attached to/ having sex with (or not)/ seen with... but by they're value as an individual."
She ended the essay with a quote by Gloria Steinem.
"Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke... She will need her sisterhood."
