I know this isn't necessarily an affirmation, but I've been wanting to post this anyway because it reminds me again of why I love the symbolism of butterflies so much. A butterfly is physically incapable of seeing its wings, which the rest of the world marvels at for how gorgeous they are. I think even if a butterfly was capable of seeing their wings, from their perspective, they'd probably only see the innermost part of their wings, which isn't even the part most of us find so stunning. It would take someone somehow showing that butterfly what the outer wing looks like for them to really understand. From more of a metaphorical standpoint, it's very much the same thing with us. Far too often, human beings either don't see any real beauty or worth in themselves, or, if they do, they don't think it's impressive enough to stop them from belittle themselves. Most of the time, it takes someone else shedding a light on just how magnificent someone is before they really see their own worth, something I can say from firsthand experience. I may not know every little thing about you, but I do know that you and everyone else in the world has something amazing to offer. I hope you see/find it soon if you haven't already, and if you need any help finding it, I'll happily be one of the people encouraging and guiding you to it if need be! 💜 #butterflies #butterfly #butterflyeffect #butterflylover #butterflylove #butterflylovers #butterflysymbolism #motivational #motivation #inspirational #inspiration #youareabutterfly #shareyourheart #shareyourheart💜 #trezurewoods #littletrezures (at Santa Ana, Costa Rica) https://www.instagram.com/p/BteH4QwALDm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19om5fxq03dfe
