PROMPT
The prompt is to write something in a similar spirit – it could tell the story of a year or day or hour or minute – something that brought about a change in the life of a protagonist, family, community, nation or the world.
As usual, there is no restriction on length or format of the piece. Write a post on your blog, and copy-paste the link here.

It took just a few moments to turn her life around
What was an existence of misery changed in moments
To something she hadn’t even dreamed to be possible
A fairy godmother and a prince charming arriving
Suddenly into her drab miserable life, in one short night,
Rewarding her with a princess’s crown for being good and kind
The story of Cinderella haunts the day-dreams of many a girl
Maybe one day a knight riding on snowy white stead will come
To rescue them from the dreariness of everyday humdrum life
And give them a fairytale ending complete with a happy-ever-after
But life doesn’t change in moments, no matter how hard we wish
It needs a lot of hard work and effort to turn around the wheels of fate
So do dream dear young darling but put in the work and effort
That real-life asks of you and you’re sure to get your happy ending
(Forgive me for deviating from the brief, I believe that lives change for better or worse but it does need time)

This causes me to reflect on how many misconceptions we as women grow up with at the hand of fairy tales. Maybe we need to rewrite them…..

I agree, we do need to do that!

You are right. Change takes time, but there is a moment of first insight. We usually ignore it, and wait for more experience and supporting evidence.
