The Butterfly Lifecycle | Why Do Caterpillars Whistle?- Terminix Blog

I feel like I'm a caterpillar. One who knows he is one, one who knows what it means to be one. That I could get into a cocoon and emerge as a butterfly. One who is aware that this caterpillar is capable of it, has the potential for it.But…

I’m scared of the cocoon, scared of the darkness within it, scared of the isolation. Scared of letting the caterpillar go to gain something that's different, something that will have new likes and dislikes. scared for letting the caterpillar die, scared of being born again.

I also know that this caterpillar will eventually turn into this butterfly, unless of course it gets squished before that lol.But I KNOW that for sure, that eventually it will happen. So really the only dilemma is whether I should relax, chill as a caterpillar till it comes by itself. Or if I should take my destiny in own hands and choose to cocoon myself to live a longer while as a butterfly.

...

It'd be easier with a catterfriend or a butterfriend.

I think I'm already starting to take more control.
