THE TALE OF LOVE, SELF-ACCEPTANCE AND CONFIDENCE

Some time ago somewhere in Europe there lived a young girl called Tinderella. She got this strange name from her parents who had met on Tinder and decided to commemorate this event by calling their beloved daughter in this unusual way. Unfortunately, the girl’s mother died when she was only ten and her father decided to remarry a few years later. As a result, Tinderella was now living under one roof with her stepmother and her two twin daughters. It was difficult because the three women hated Tinderella and were making her life incredibly hard. They were always criticising her appearance (at the age of 16 Tinderella was 1,70 m tall and very thin, she had pale complexion with freckles on her nose which seemed a bit too big for her small face), the clothes she wore, the way she moved and generally picked on her whenever they could. As a result, the girl had a lot of complexes and couldn’t even look at herself in the mirror. She felt like an ugly duckling in the world of beautiful self-confident people. 
One night, when she was crying silently in her room after another terrible day, she fell asleep. In her dream, her mother was right there, looking at her beautiful daughter with love and kindness in her eyes. Tinderella wished to be next to her mother. She wished to be in her mom’s arms. There was a short way between them, but when Tinderella kept looking, the way got longer and longer even as she was running towards her mom. She was crying over tears. Before her mother disappeared, she heard the soft and lovely voice of her mother saying "I love you with the way you look, you are amazing as you are. I'm behind you, sweetie." Suddenly, she woke up in sweat and adrenaline. After realizing that it was a dream, she felt sad. She was missing her mother. She was missing her mom’s support and love.
