I’ve always loved butterflies for this reason. They symbolize a change and it takes time to fully blossom into yourself. but it also makes me think of the episode of SpongeBob where they were so in love with wormie and then all of a sudden wormie changed into a butterfly. Wormie is dead and all that’s left is this butterfly. they couldn’t take it, they didn’t understand what happened and it was scary to have a friend and then one day you wake up and their completely different. but it was really beautiful..they couldn’t see how soft and gentle the butterfly was until one person came along and showed them. (she captured him but that’s a different story 😂)
