Admittedly, I was slightly envious, but still actually more "heart-melty" (that's seriously the only way to describe how I felt, even despite the small jealousy) when I seen these two girls post about these butterflies. The first girl that I actually know, Karla, posted a picture of this beautiful butterfly that was perfectly placed on her hand. I was wondering how the butterfly even stayed there long enough for her to get this picture but the caption made all the sense. I had to go back to read the caption so I could get it verbatim, it read "This butterfly came inside my house last night and every time I'd put it back outside it'd find its way right back in, I have never been so close to one before let alone be able to just hold it.. it was truly something beautiful." Then, a person commented about it being a sign from someone in Heaven and she said that she likes to think that it's her dad. I did know that he had passed maybe a year or 2 ago so I was happy for her heart to be so happy about that because I definitely am one that believes in the little things like that. I don't really know the other girl who made the second post but she had the butterfly that landed on her hand and she went on about the butterfly being a symbol of our souls as we grow and adapt to the different transitions we face in our lives. I liked that, too. Anyways, I began seeing butterflies after that, it would just be one that suddenly drifted around at the "worst" time, meaning I would be stressed about something or something was heavy on my mind and it would just appear in front of my view. Also, NO I was not looking for them and I know they're all around but I hadn't seen them in my sight so consistently like it's been. Plus, this red thing happened to catch my eye when I was at my mom's, in the kitchen with her. I thought it might have been a leaf but it was flying! It was a red butterfly! I've never seen a red butterfly so you can imagine how excited I was and I told my mom to hurry and look before it flew off, and it had disappeared for a second when she went to look so I thought she missed it, but it came back into CLEAR VIEW, fluttering long enough for us to get a good enough glimpse before it was gone. She had never seen that kind before either and she made this comment to her friend about red things always appearing when I'm around, such as the red cardinal (which means A LOT to our family) and now this red butterfly neither of us had ever seen. It felt good to hear because I love being somewhere when these "signs" appear because I feel like I'm bringing that good luck and joy around. I just love to have those sentimental moments to myself to help cheer me up when I'm down.

Profound... I actually have just recently stopped being scared of butterflies I used to hate them because I didn’t like how they fly during this time of my life and season of transition I know that I’m going to be the same person I’m becoming a new person truly but I’m in this cocoon once it’s over I’ll be a new creature even called a new thing.unrecognizable yet I will remember what I was before. I love this blog.
