On Cinderella's Stepsisters
You hear people say, "if the shoe fits, wear it," but nowhere does it say to cram your foot into a shoe that is too tight or too large for your foot especially if your foot is going to be bleeding by the end of the night. Now I'm not saying that I personally am Cinderella but rather that we all are. There are a horde of princes out there in all shapes and sizes but not every prince is meant to be for just you or me.
We each have a prince with a shoe that fits but if you keep trying to make a prince fit you because you think he is the "end all be all" then you may very well realize that he is really not what you wanted in the first place. Some of us are fortunate enough to have found our prince and some of us have not. Why? I don't know... For example: Take Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler. They were pretty equally matched but Scarlett kept pining after Ashley who didn't have the guts to tell her he really didn't feel the same way.
In order for love to work it has to be mutual. If you have to be someone that you're not in order to "fit" with that person then you are not in a genuine relationship. You are faking it. Do yourself a favor and don't fake it. Ever!
