Cinderella

In the park

I'll be going in order, continuing on my relationship with the other princesses. Next is Cinderella, I've never met anyone who is as grateful as her! She will thank you for the smallest thing and almost make you feel guilty for not being so thankful for what you have. She didn't have much after her father died, and her stepfamily was just evil to her! And yet, she's still very kind to them and invites them to all the balls that she and Charming throw. They're not nice to the guests, they steal food, and always make a mess, but Cinderella thanks them for coming anyway!

Unfortunately, I don't feel like I can talk to her if something's wrong. Not that she gossips, she wouldn’t ever do that. Nor is she mean about it, but I always feel like she's been through worse and whatever's wrong with me pales in comparison. I know she doesn't, but I feel like she would look down on me for it. As in, "Really? She thinks that's a big deal! I had to clean, cook, and take care of the animals when I was 10!" (Don't get the wrong idea, she doesn't do that, it's just in my head.)

On the flip side, she's very inspirational. When I'm feeling bad about something or upset, I think about her. She made it through so much, more than anyone else I know, and she's still one of the happiest! After all that, she found her Prince Charming and is living happily ever after. If that's not something to get you through your rough days, I don't know what is!

Whenever you're upset or going through a rough time, look forward to your happily ever after. Don't make permanent decisions about temporary situations. In those instances, it's okay to imagine how much greener the grass will be on the other side!
