I am the hero of my fairytale.

I am not the damsel in distress.

I am the Rapunzel who escaped from her tower,
the Cinderella who makes her own dreams come true.

I am the Gretel who doesn't go in the gingerbread house,
the Maid Marian who saved her Robin Hood.

I don't wait for my prince,
I look for him.

Move over Prince Charming.

I'm the hero of this fairytale.

Girls shouldn't look up to the beautiful, stupid, and shallow princesses in fairytales. They need role models who can take care of themselves.
