A Cinderella Story


It’s clear by now I’ll never like tennis or running or those weight obsessed thin people who won’t even eat one calorie more than allowed. It’s the turning point in my life, the two or three things I’m good at will have to do. No more waiting for the past to become the present, no more ignoring real life hoping it will pass me by, no more questioning life about “why?” It’s time to admit I never liked sharing my secrets, that my love life is a hidden desire, that my brother makes me feel inferior. I’m going to own up to loving A Cinderella Story the blondness of the movie make my roots tingle with delight. It’s too late to erase my mistakes which have scarred me body and soul. I’m alive today! I’ll never be able to change my past. I’ll never win the competition my brother and I have started and it’s all right, I have faced death in the eyes and still come back for more. Hello reality, hello hidden secrets, I’m finally ready to live with you, to accept you as my friends within this world, to learn you’re not as scary as you seem. I can live with all of you in my sweet Cinderella Story.

Times do get better, and sometimes, stupid movies are the reason that everything starts to look on the bright side.
