Miss Butterfly

I took this picture from the website of the one who took the picture so, besides the incredible meaning of butterflies to me, also the fact that it was taken from such an important person to me, makes this picture twicest my favorite one posted here.///Butterflies mean a lot to me. I think I got a butterfly as my tatoo because I just copied my cousins idea, and after few years I kind of regreat it; nowadays they have come to bring me a new meaning in my life: a butterfly to me is the representation of docility and fragility and that is just something I need to do and something that really costs me a lot (well only the docility part). Life has taught me that I needed to be exactly the opposit to a butterfly in order to do things my way, but at the same time being like that has given me headaches and has caused me a lot of conflicts . Sometimes I do feel like one but only because of the fact I've been re born (not docility or fragility included)... I see life from a different perspective, I've learn how to manage things in a way that I'm not easily hurted, and I do respect what other people thinks even if is not the same way than me. Anyway, I need to remember that I need to be as docile as a butterfly on a daily basis because sometimes it's helpful to let others lead me , and I need also to keep in mind the only way that people or circumstances can hurt me is If I allow it (so fragility is still out of the sentence here haha), and as soon as I don't allow this I will be free as the butterfly in this picture.

A Butterfly's path is so chaotic, wildly free and unpredictable. Beauty like that is freedom in the truest sense of the word. Yet, their life spans in comparison to ours make give us an understanding of why they seem to enjoy and radiate in every moment of their lives. Perhaps if we spent more time being happy and at peace with our fragility, we would glow as brightly and move as fairies over and under troubled times.

I can't wait to capture this kind of spirit in you and Jason when we meet in LA.

Your humble Photographer and friend,
