She said it was because one day I was going to have to go through a metamorphosis like a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly and that scared me, so butterflies scared me.

About This Quote

The way you go through life is important, but butterflies are scarier. It’s hard to tell what that means, but I believe it has something to do with the fact that I love butterflies. Metamorphosis is a process in which an organism changes shape or structure without dying. So, it’s not so much about being transformed as it is about being reborn. It’s the process of rebirth and transformation, of moving from one thing into another.
