Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

Prompt: "You do not just wake up and become the butterfly. Growth is a process."
Rupiah Kaur
Write about this in your Blog entry today.


------

Yes, personal growth is a continuous cycle, just as butterflies lay eggs, then hatch into caterpillars, and so on. But then, this was etched into their original makeup by the creation.

Unfortunately for me, I wasn't born to become a butterfly in any sense of the word, even if I was born with a basic form of understanding and awareness like most everyone of my species. Then, while I had my opportunities, failures, and successes, I wonder if I will ever emerge from the chrysalis as a butterfly. Did you know some that were created as butterflies never make it to the end? They perish during one of the stages and never make it to next stage.

Maybe this could be because any personal growth is never finished. Then, on the not-so-positive side, although it goes through multiple phases of change and development, the butterfly ends up with a very short life, once it is out of the chrysalis.

At the end, like me, all of us living things also have a limited time on this earth whether we turn into butterflies or not. That we have lived and experienced this weird and fantastic life in this tiny part of the universe is probably the only fulfillment we'll end up with. Even so, I believe that's something to be grateful about.
