What happens to Cinderella after her "happily ever after"?


Has anyone ever wondered what happens after the fairy tale ends? We get the glimpse of the fairy tale, the struggle, the happily ever after..and then what happens? Well, first let me say, Disney set high standards for probably every little girl world wide. As beautiful and romantic as the fairy tales are, we soon find out that's not really how life is. We grow up, we move on, and we start a new life, somehow hoping deep down we can grasp that fairy tale. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that we can't live our own fairy tales, I'm simply saying, why follow or live by someone else's dream when you can create your own? Each and every fairy tale basically has the same idea, a damsel in distress, searching for a meaning in life, after struggle and drama, Prince Charming soon stumbles on and gives her life meaning. As I'm sure we've all figured out by now, life isn't that easy. And when you think of it, why would you want it to be so plain and simple? You truly don't know how great something is until you've tried something horrible. Maybe there's a reason Disney doesn't reveal what happens, maybe it's all an illusion. Maybe Disney wants to leave us guessing what could have possibly happened after? Anyway, what does it really matter anyway, Cinderella is a fictional character, but do you know who is real? You. Me. Our lives, our fate, is in our hands, we aren't being filmed, we aren't on stage acting, unless you consider yourself an actor on the stage of this world. Basically what I'm saying is sometimes in life you should be greedy, why just shoot for a fairy tale, when you can create the most beautiful life for you, whether single or married, God gave us a free will for a reason, and in that we can live in harmony, peace and all the happiness in the world.
