I'm sure everyone has heard about the Cinderella story. I mean, who the hell doesn't know who Cinderella is?
The poor, sweet girl who was a slave in the hands of her stepmother and her "ugly" sister and falls in love with the prince who she ends up marrying and living happily ever after with. Everyone knows her. Everyone pities her. Everyone loves her for having her happy ending.
But I, unlike most people, when I think of the Cinderella story, I never seem to care about her. I mean, what about the stepsister, who, as time went by, started being called "bad", then "evil" and finally "ugly" sister? Doesn't she as well deserve a "happily ever after" with someone who loves her?
Now I'm guessing everyone is thinking "no". Why would she? After all she is the "ugly sister". She doesn't deserve an "ever after" let alone a happy one.
But Cinderella… she does. She worked so hard, she was such a victim in the hands of her family… she, the one who cleaned, the one who was starved, the one who only wore rags, she's the one who deserves the "happily ever after".
Well, for me, Cinderella was simply a clean freak, obsessed with her image who ate poorly to conserve her extremely thin image and wore rags because she thought it was the new black. That's seeing her from who she really was, not the poor child everyone thought her to be.
Cinderella was no more than that.
And now everyone is asking: what the hell is her problem? Why does she loathe Cinderella so much?
Well, in my belief, every single life as a bit of a Cinderella story to it. And my problem is that, in my own story life, I'm the "ugly" sister.

Author's note: I know it's small, but this is just a idea that popped on my mind as I was reading a book from Joanne Harris (which I can't remember the name right now) and I'm not sure if I should continue it; I was just trying it on to see if it worked.
Either way, you tell me what I should do
