Cinderella lived happily ever after, never forget that!

'The two step-sisters' they laugh at me and call me Cinderella. They think I have a bad life because I cook and clean, because I work hard in life.
Their lives are easy. They have subservient men, who tend to their every need and wish. Sweet, kind men, who are handsome and strong, men they do not deserve. The 'step-sisters' sit on their pedestal all day staring at themselves in the mirror. Dwelling on thoughts of youth and beauty, which is fading fast. Causing them to become cruel and bitter.
While I study hard. My mind full of physics, psychology, literature and art. My other half, he treats me as his equal. He doesn't kiss my feet or brush my hair. He loves me for my strength, my independence and my mind. He may not bring me breakfast in bed or wash my car. But that doesn't mean he doesn't love me.
I've been in that relationship. When the man kisses the ground I walk on. I've been up on that pedestal. I was bored and put off by his actions of appraisal and I ended up despising him and hating his love for me.
How can you be happy up there? Are you that vain that you need constant admiration and approval. Is it insecurity that causes you to treat your man so badly?
I need no ones approval but my own. I enjoy cooking. I love to clean. Sometimes he cooks, sometimes he does the dishes, but I hold no power over him and he holds no power over me. We are equals. We walk beside each other in life, hand in hand. I don't dwell on youth and beauty. I concentrate on furthering my knowledge and building my character.
What fate awaits the evil 'step-sisters' well, karma hits them hard. For their wickedness and malice, their ill tempered, disagreeable nature. They are very unhappy in life. In many versions they meet a gruesome death or some horrible fate. Cinderella, on the other hand, lives happily ever after with her prince who is as charming as he is handsome. No, I am not hurt by you calling me Cinderella, though you do mean it as a hurtful name. I am content with my little chair by the fire, where I sit and read throughout the night. And I am very much in love with my prince charming, who is my best friend, my right hand, my equal.
