Due to trust issues, in men and in myself, at a very young age I came to believe that I would spend the rest of my life single, self-sufficient and happily ever after in my stone tower. But I completely forgot about my Cinderella side and deep down I was always looking for someone to share […]

When I was 10 years old I saw a blond boy from the year before mine at school and I liked it. Without thinking, obviously, because children don\’t think much, I went there and asked him to be my girlfriend. I don\’t know if he had a lot of options or time to decide, but he accepted

When I left Brazil, I regained my normal 47kg that I carried through my life before getting married, I had perfect health and skin, my unruly hair was apparently tamed and my image was probably that of a strong and courageous person, for deciding to leave public office, a recent but incredible relationship, and my

Dear Santa, I\’ve been taken… However, I don\’t believe this is a bad thing. And this letter is actually to file a request to reconsider the criteria used in the judgment for receiving the gifts of life. You see, for some reasons, as a child, I led myself to believe that I would only be a good

Born in the early eighties on the western side of the planet and seeing almost all the women around me working, it took me a while to realize the limitations imposed on them in a veiled way.

My name is Cinderella… (pause for you to say “Hi, Cinderella”) I am 35 years old (almost 36) and I am addicted to sugar. It all started when I was still very young, my friends introduced me to Venda da Dona Tereza, next to my house. That little shop looked like the house of the witch in

A long time ago I ended up “choosing” not to be so angry anymore. She lived nervous, she didn\’t keep hurt but she didn\’t build up anger either lol. But Merida\’s freewheeling personality didn\’t suit the Prince Charming I married. To be his little princess (as he literally called me) I had to be calm, contain rebellious impulses

I haven\’t written for three weeks, at 3 am that night Mom\’s birthday gave me another inspiration. I think it culminated in a series of events: my birthday two weeks ago, three big goodbyes last week, and a long conversation with a friend last night about how we approach life. All of this helped lead me to

Today, a guy I met just a few days ago said he was even more interested in me after I told him I wouldn\’t date him because he\’s much younger and too crazy (not that I\’m super normal lol). He said that in addition to being beautiful, I have experience. Honestly, I didn\’t know whether to laugh

This is not a story of a date that didn\’t work out (or did). It\’s not about the last crush where everything started out great but got nowhere. It\’s not just about learning to live and discovering myself through my personal relationships (but it is). This is not a romantic love story between two individuals. This is a love
