The Butterfly Cycle <3
So as most of you know I love reading/ writing Tokio Hotel fan fictions. Well today I was reading The Butterfly Cycle by Cinematics, and in the chapter she wrote the most amazing thing and I felt the need to share it with everyone
.



A caterpillar sheds its skin multiple times to make room for change and growth. Sometimes as the caterpillar sheds its skin it will take on new colors, new patterns, new types of hair, and of course will be much bigger and more ready for the coming changes. As it finally curls up into that tight, dark, wet, and cramped little cocoon it must go through its cells rearranging and changing. They let their bodies break down completely so they can achieve their final form.

As the newly formed butterfly begins to break free from its painful home, it must endure more pain; this pain more excruciating and brutal than anything else. It struggles to get out of the dark cocoon it had been in for so long, its body ripping and aching. But a butterfly must deal with this pain. As it struggles, fluids from their cocoon fills up its body and gives their wings the liquid they need to be able to uncurl and harden so that the butterfly will be strong enough to carry itself through anything the world will throw at them.

If the butterfly is taken out of the cocoon before they have suffered through the pain, they do not get the fluid they need to be able to thrive and be healthy. Instead, the butterfly will come out weak and defeated. It will not be able to fly away and it will die because it has not suffered all it has to in order to be able to be beautiful and strong.

And while the butterfly lives a short life, it is one full of change and freedom and beauty. Humans have a much longer lifespan and we must shed our skin so many times before we can become butterflies, but when we do we know we've made it and we can look back at all the suffering and smile because we know we've overcome so much in our lives.

This is an ongoing cycle for humans. This is a cycle one must accept in order to become something much brighter. If beauty and freedom is what you seek, then you have to suffer to get to where you want to be. Suffering is essential, but it’s not the only way. When you are ready to crawl out of your cocoon you will do so, but not without even more pain. However, this pain will end and you will be free.

Stay beautiful.



I hope by reading this you all are able to see the importance in the struggles we go through in life. It's like the saying "beauty is pain", but I'm not talking about physical beauty I'm talking about inner.

We all may not be a size 0 in jeans, long beautiful blond hair, bright blue eyes, perfect skin or Mr.Tall dark and hansom. Most people will never be that but that not the point. We all need to wake up and see the inner beauty in both everyone and our own selves.

I hope when you all come out of your own cocoon you'll be able to look your self in the mirror and see the beauty within your self and be able to look back on your past and smile knowing you went through all that to become the person you are meant to be.

Always remember: stay beautiful because you are beautiful.
<3 Sarah
