After their transformation is completed and they've emerged from their chrysalises, it takes two hours for a butterflies wings to harden. With an average life span of four weeks, I wonder how long that two hours feels. Do they get impatient knowing they can't immediately take flight?

Right now, I'm in my own waiting period. Problem is I'm running out of patience, but God and the universe could not care less because every time I get ahead of myself I end up right back at square one. At this point, I know I have no choice but to sit pretty, get comfy, and continue waiting. I’ll be so happy I had this waiting period. The adventure up ahead is unlike anything I’ve experienced, this much I know. So why rush the process?

I was living out my Animal Crossing fantasies yesterday when I visited the butterfly vivarium. There were so many gorgeous butterflies fluttering about, inquisitive children asking questions and cheerful smiles all around. It made me crave a slower, simpler life.
