The modern day Cinderella story is the girl who has had her heart broken and gets to go 'find herself' in foreign lands. Its well documented. Eat, Pray Love has a lot to answer for.
Here's my Cinderella 2.0.
The scrubbing and cleaning is the emotional and practical turmoil of the end of the relationship. I think we all know who the ugly sisters are, no need to dwell on that. The fairy godmother is emodied by the friends and family who kept you sane and gave you so much support. The royal ball is the opportunity and excitment of travelling alone, for yourself. The slipper is what's going to happen. Everything that may be and all you may discover. Or not. Its the crystal eye opener. The only thing missing from this modern day fairy tale is the prince. Prince Charming is obsolete. We're our own happy ending. What will happen will happen but the only person answerable for your happiness is you.

jess hunter Astute commentary and perceptions. We are definitely the root to our own happiness and the only person responsible for it. Additionally the journey undertaken to fully understand that fact can be the charming prince which provides the happiness through freedom, self-acceptaion, and fun times. Just hold the reigns to your own white horse.
