Lessons From The Original Three Princesses

They're more than damsels in distress.

So often, we take Disney movies at face value. The three original Disney Princesses tend to catch the most flak for being superficial. It's extremely common to say they're anti-feminist, stupid, and nothing more than a damsel-in-distress stereotype. I often hear people saying things like, "You can't solve your problems by talking to animals, singing a song, and finding Prince Charming." Yes, I agree with that, but honestly, none of them really solved their problems that way. If you just look a little deeper, these ladies have so much to say about life.

Snow White

Snow White is often considered because she runs away, cleans the house, bakes the dwarves a pie, and eats an apple from a stranger. More importantly, Snow White was kind to everyone she met. I think we should all take a page out of her book. You never know who you could be interacting with: someone who will take you in when you need it most (like the dwarves), your worst enemy, or your future Prince Charming. Snow White herself said, "Remember, you're the one who can fill the world with sunshine."

Cinderella

Aurora

When I was a little girl, I would get so upset during Sleeping Beauty. Just when things were going great, the fairies took Aurora back to the castle. As I got older, I realized that this happens to us a lot. Things seem to be going our way, but then life throws us a curveball. At least we don't get cursed, even though it feels that way sometimes. But, everything works out for Aurora in the end, and she's actually better off than when the story started. Eventually, we'll find this is true for us, too. Sometimes, all we have to do is believe.
