From a young age I have always been drawn to butterflies
because of their grace, beauty and sense of freedom.
As
I grew older they began to carry more meaning for me.
In
many ways we can be taken advantage of, even by the people
who we trust. As a result we can begin to feel
unappreciated and unimportant.
Butterflies start out as these small creatures that tend to
go unnoticed; and in a short time they go through a change
that seems to happen over night. In a sense they are reborn
and become these beautiful creatures that dance in the
wind. They have such freedom; and even though many
butterflies don't live much longer than two weeks, they
still enjoy the life that they have.
I
strongly believe that there is something to be learned from
them. No matter what happens in life we are still
beautiful, we still matter and even though we may feel small
at times, we still have the chance to make the best of the
life we have.
