One morning the beautiful princess saw a tiny wrinkle on her cheek from all the time that she has spent laughing in her life. Laughing is a good thing and there is seldom a kind person in all the kingdom with a smooth face, but the princess worries and worries that the wrinkle makes her look ugly. It became the first thing that she sees in the mirror even though it is not what anyone else would notice. To everyone else, the princess is the most beautiful woman in the world. Her smile makes worried people feel hopeful. It makes birds sing and the sun shines brighter when she laughs. When she isn't smiling, the tiny little wrinkle is there to hint at her smile. It is evidence of her nature.
The princess worries about all kinds of things. She fears that people don't like her because she has known a few wicked witches in her time, but the truth is that almost everyone who knows her is charmed by her. She makes people laugh and can be the gentlest soul in the world if you are in need. Even wild animals want to be around her.
Sometimes the princess feels like people think she is a failure because she is not the most famous princess in the land and she doesn't know what the fuck she is doing with her life.
The truth is, we are all lost and don't know what the fuck we are doing. I bet even the queen has to pretend sometimes that she has it figured out. Even prince charming knows how to fake a smile.
Believe me when I tell you that the most perfect thing about the princess is that she is a real person with all the little quirks that real people have. She is warm and has been known to lend an ear to the troubled and a sweater to a trembling friend. She will even find a kind word for a witch when she sees one in need.
The value of life is not in how you make a living, but in the smaller moments you may never even think of again. The princess brightens the world just by being a part of it, and she doesn't even know that she is perfect.
