Beautiful Blue Butterfly

Beautiful Blue Butterfly 

In life we go through changes and we all start out as an egg, later down the line we grown into a larva in order to grow we had to eat and to eat was to survive. Once we ate and had all we could store we went into a deep slumber in our cocoon. To hibernate, to grow, to gain our wings, but see right before the cocoon is made that larva is a caterpillar that’s eager to find its place in the world alongside the other winged animals. 

A caterpillar spends months preparing for the day that it will be able to make its cocoon and gain its wings. But for one special butterfly the beautiful blue one that tugs at my heart. I learned this beautiful blue butterfly never could gain her wings because she was afraid and no one around her seemed to care, she spent all her days and months not being able to eat because depression had decided to move in permanently without warning her first.

Maybe just maybe the beautiful blue caterpillar will indeed become the beautiful blue butterfly she’s longing to be but she has to trust the road she’s on will produce the fruit she wants it to bear as she awaits her turn, her cocoon finally begins to form and before she knows it she is on her way to gain those beautiful blue wings. She waiting to fly away.

In her cocoon she waits and dreams of the day she’ll be free to spread her beautiful blue wings as she soars through the sky for the whole world to get a glimpse of how beautiful things are when we wait for them to grow. Out of her cocoon she soars, fluttering through the summer air in hopes to find her true self and maybe even true love.

This beautiful blue butterfly now needs to gain some confidence in herself that she is growing, glowing and will eventually have her time to shine. She’s scared, timid ,worried that everything will go wrong she’s losing herself as she fights for those that she loves. Lost and confused racing thoughts, thoughts of clipping of her beautiful blue wings to fly no longer. This beautiful blue butterfly has to remain strong so out in the world as they knock her down she refuses to stay defeated.

This beautiful blue butterfly has gained the courage to live , to love, laugh and just be her beautiful strong self. Without the self doubt, self defeating acts and suicidal thoughts she fight against everything that was placed in her way to take her out but she refuses to go down to without putting up a fight. She is unique, strong, determined, self confident, and it all shows within her beautifully constructed blue wings.

She is a beautiful blue butterfly at last!
