We've all heard of people getting their very own Cinderella story. Usually, this has to do with someone finding their own Prince Charming and living happily ever after with them.
However, everyone has their own Cinderella story, in which they feel like an absolute princess despite unfortunate circumstances, and this amputee is proof of that tale.
Her touching story has gone viral, and for good reason.
"After a medical fiasco kept me from competing at a costume competition this summer, I was going to keep these photos under wraps for another year to try again," she began her Facebook post.
So, Mandy decided to share them with the whole world!
She realized that there were no princesses that looked like her after reflecting on her daughter's studies of Cinderella from the year before. She had grown up without anyone representing her physical differences in mass media, which made her self-love journey a little bit longer.
As she cheekily writes, "glass slippers are SO last year!"
"I hope you know you are beautiful, and that you are UNSTOPPABLE!!! Write your own story, and be your own kind of princess."
What a lovely message! You can't help but feel inspired after reading her post.
