Little girls were watching 'Mulan,' the only Disney Princess who actually isn't a just Princess but a Warrior Princess.
I realized that I want to be Mulan.
Not Ariel, Belle, Cinderella, Snow White...
I want to be Mulan because she can grapple with her insecurities and expectations of her family and life and do the right thing by following her heart. She deals with the consequences of her actions, and never looks back. And she doesn't wait for some cocky boy to save the day; she saves the day.
Disney did something right.
I hope the little girls can see that.
And I hope that I can follow my heart and make the right choice for me.

I always wanted to be Ariel. Perhaps that is the root of my problems. ;)

I had problems understanding the Disney version 'cause I read the really unhappy original story first ;)
