Glass slipper

I should be using this time to unpack my things. The thing about a speedy removal is that nothing is organised or correctly boxes up, it's just thrown in everywhere that had space. Instead I'm writing, I'd rather clear my head than my space. You know I'm going to be fine. I'll work through, I'll grow some more. It just hurts right now. It's one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, be away from you, move out. I can't even really talk about it, not that anyone could understand even if I did. So don't worry, I'm not looking for someone to save me, I'm not looking for someone to replace you, actually, I'm not looking for anyone, I don't even want to be around the people I have to. I don't know what I'm going to do yet but you can bet your sweet sexy ass I'm going to do it with my head held high. I'm no longer in the business of pleasing others, proving points, or seeking revenge. I'm only going to do me, for me, to be proud of me. I know so long as I do that you will be too. I'm going to succeed and I'm going to do it my way. Other than that, the only thing o need in life is for you to be happy and proud of yourself. I'd say call me if you need any help but my phone is destroyed, and you don't need me anyway, you never did. I can see your success, your happiness. I'll leave you alone, watch from afar. Just know I'm so proud of you, and you should be too.
I love you xoxo

I shattered the glass slipper, and then used the sharp edges as weapons to slay the dragon myself. Turns out the dragon is a sweet soul, misunderstood by many, and struggling to express emotions.

Glass slippers

In "Cinderella", a ridiculous mis-translation from the French. The original story, handed down orally, centered around "Vair" slippers, vair being squirrel fur. But "vair" sounds like "verre", the French word for glass, and so it continued. Fur slippers make perfect sense. But glass??

Cinderella felt sorry for the handsome prince, kneeling before her. She wondered what kind of idiot expected her to take two steps in glass slippers, when the beloved pair she had lost were made of fur. "I mean, glass shoes? Really?"
