Our lives are quite like that of the butterfly. We go through a metamorphosis and eventually emerge with wings.
We begin at birth as a caterpillar. We are cute, innocent, and dependent on our surroundings. What we take in may very well be a part of what comes out in the end.
Then as we start being independent we form a chrysalis, or cocoon where we change and grow our wings. I like to think that the rest of our lives are spent in the cocoon, where we develop our wings. We expand them with the people we influence in the amount of time we have on earth. We make them beautiful with good deeds, distasteful with the bad. The magnificence is made by our contributions and impact on the world.
I hope my wings turn out big and wonderful, as I hope the rest of your turn out :)

Quote - Return of the Poetry - May 12, 2014
On February 26, 2014 I wrote a post containing a bit of unfinished poetry,
"A new original quote that I wrote a while ago and wanted to document before I forgot .
"Pure joy writhes through my veins, /
A happiness which cannot be compared, /
as if the gods have infused my limbs with...
Shoot last word is illegible, when it comes back to me I will edit this post with the correct word
I was considering putting this in a poem at the time so pardon the weird formatting and slashes
Have a good day everyone, don't forget to smile "
I have remembered what the last word was so now, here is the complete poem, or stanza,
"Pure joy writhes through my veins,
A happiness which cannot be compared,
as if the gods have infused my limbs with grace"
I hope you all enjoyed :)
Have a happy day everyone!

Quote - The Glass - March 13, 2014
I was thinking of the famous question, "Are you a glass half full or glass half empty person?" and I said aloud,
"I'm a glass completely full person"
Garret walks up to me and says,
"Yes, it's always full with air and water"
and I lit up with a big smile :O Best logic ever. I hadn't ever thought about it like that, and it turned out to be a great metaphor for the world :D

Activity - Making use of Personal Qualities - February 24, 2014
I tend to think of step 2,3, or 4 before step 1, so when I write posts on here I drag them out a lot because I'm not used to thinking of all the steps and putting them down. But I am gonna try to work on making myself a bit more concise, especially on here because it makes it faster to grasp and makes it feel a little more light and exciting. And I need to learn how to put in conclusions while writing haha . Think about something you know is just a habit that might be making things harder for you and try to turning it into something you can use when it's necessary.
Special - How I See the World : An Attempt of Describing it - February 17, 2014
The world is a big beautiful place, I enjoy the way I see the world. I'm not saying it's the right path, but it is inspiring to me. It makes everything unique and bright and pure. But it also allows for the evils of the world, yet makes it understandable and brings clarity to the subjects. There is no such thing as perfection because for perfection one must have perfect balance of all things, including imperfection so therefore there is no perfection, but there can be harmony. I'm not saying it in a spiritual way, though you may think of it like that if you like, I'm suggesting a deep inner look to see the best qualities of things, people, and the planet as a whole. The experience of life includes many inputs to make an event happen. Like a tree of inspiration, one thing leads to another, then to another, but those things, following the mindset that anything can be forgiven, are neutral
So by that logic, none of these things can be blamed for the evils in the world, it just usually gets put on the object with the most amount of inputs at the time. It is understandable to put blame on that object or point in time so it can be forgiven that blame is centered on something. I do however believe it is uncomfortable to live with putting blame on something else, and for that reason I tried to make a model of the world that incorporates evil into a pure world of beauty. I appreciate all the things the world has to offer.
If certain events didn't take place to make certain things occur, we may not have had a planet, then we may not have people, no me. So I learned to appreciate the world and now it looks beautiful and exciting, but there is still room for danger and risk, and that's special to me . Everyone will come up with a view, whether they know it or not, not even if they follow it or not, and each of those views are individual and special, just like us so take pride in that fact, that you are special and that the whole world is made of individual special things and people waiting to fill it with life .

Activity - Good Things from Bad - February 11, 2014
Try to think of at least one good thing for every situation that you go through. By doing this you see a slightly brighter image than you would before, and it helps you see the good things faster. Eventually you will be able to see many more good things and situations that used to look bad will look much brighter. That's not to say that bad things aren't bad, they are most definitely bad. But there is always something good to see, even if it's not directly related to the situation, it can still make you feel a lot better. So give it a try! Think of at least one good thing for each situation throughout the day.
