..we were all born a CATTERPILLAR..
introduced to the open world, we are afraid of its vastness.
using all that we can to survive, we didn't care whom we destroy and whom we made weak.
because we were immature.
then, we need to grow, so we undergo change.
..and we became a PUPA, encased in our chrysallis..
afraid to go out, comfortable in our dark, safe harbor.
out of reach from pain.
we were contented with what little piece of beauty we have around us.
we wouldn't grow and be a BUTTERFLY.
until we could learn to leave behind the fear and the contentedness that our chrysallis gave us.
..only then could we become BUTTERFLY..
and see the beauty of the whole world.
no longer afraid
no longer immature
just plain US
true
FREE
only then could we say that "I can stand on my own now."
and only then could we really know what happiness is :)
when we are already beautiful and free butterflies
