Fairytales. I love them! They make my life complete. The simple belief in a "Happily Ever After" or "Love at first sight" just somehow allures me. I love the idea that there is a PERFECT match for everyone out there somewhere and we can be anybody to posses that never-ending love. Take, for example, Cinderella. She was a little girl whose dad died when she was little. She was stuck blessed with a step-mother and two step-sisters. One day she got an invitation to the Prince's ball. But, this wasn't just any ball. This was the ball where he would-potentially-meet the woman of his dreams. Her step mother gave her a list of chores that she had to finish before she could go. She didn't get the chores done in time and thus didn't go to the ball. Little did she know when she ran out into that garden and sat on that cement bench that her fairy godmother would show up. Her godmother told her that she was indeed going to the ball. She turned her rags into a beautiful gown, her pumpkin into a gorgeous carriage, and the mice into her coachmen. She was on her way to the ball when her godmother heeded the warning that at precisely midnight everything would go back to the way it was. Cinderella showed up at the ball and was the most b.e.a.u.tiful woman there. Not because her fairy godmother made her that way but because she worked hard, and deserved that. She didn't take for granted what she had, and she appreciated everything that she had even though life threw her a couple windstorms. She walked inside the castle and onto that first step and she was the only woman that Prince Charming saw. She was the one to catch his eyes, and she was the one had fallen in love with from the very second he saw her. Isn't that SOOO CUTE?! I love that. When I was little (and still now) she was my favorite princess. She worked for what she had, and was never unappreciative. She was always happy, even when things didn't go her own way, and she was slow to anger, and beautiful.
As I'm sure you've seen all the princesses are loved by...everyone. Not because they're powerful, and pretty; but, because, they're smart, persistent, diligent, hard working, nice, compassionate, and amazing listeners. We too should be like that. So much we are caught up on what is going wrong in our lives that we neglect to stop and realize what we have that is going good in our lives. The roof that is over our heads, the food on our tables, our heaters in this dreadful weather, heaters, blankets, clothing, computers and other electronics, family, and the friends that are always there for us. We stop and sit by a window mourning over what we've lost and don't stop and think about how what we've lost is but a mere paper cut compared to others.
The princesses we read about don't change THEMSELVES, they change their CIRCUMSTANCES.
If you want a little hint (you can take it or leave it) I wouldn't go about changing yourself. For if you do, you might be cheating people of a lot of wonderful things only YOU can provide them. You need people, and people need you.
Remember: You are a Princess. Born from with a divine nature. Don't cheat yourself of that by neglecting people of the true you. You'll love yourself more, and so will others if you are the true you. You are capable of so many things but how can you know if you don't try? What a shame it is when people wear a mask in life; cheating themselves, and others of everything. AN ORIGINAL IS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS WORTH MORE THAN A COPY.
Once you learn that you'll go FARRRRRR in life. Trust you me.
