For someone who went through depression, it really feels that way sometimes. When I remember the way my headspace used to feel like, everyday life is almost like flying in comparison.
The butterfly should be using sign language as they don’t have mouths (in this otherwise hyper realistic comic of bugs openly expressing existential dread in modern English)
…and the the butterfly starves to death a couple weeks later…
ppl need to stop using butterflies as a symbol of positive transformation, unless it’s about form over function…
Most bugs lives for days.
If someone in their 80s decides to translition and then they die a week laer, was that transition a waste of time? It’s about how the process from where someone is to where they need to be is always worth it, regardless of how evergreen it is.
There is such a thing as overextending a metaphor.
Many butterflies live between 2 - 4 weeks as adults. However, many caterpillars live for about the same length of time before they pupate, so we are talking about half a lifetime either way.
“It’s better to stay a starving caterpillar forever than to fly for a single day.” - Ghandi and Einstein
Are you thinking of moths? Butterflies live for a while I think.
