Hi everybody, I looooove butterflies which by now I'm sure you've guessed.
So here I took to glitter, blush, eyeliner and daring red lipstick to draw this beautiful butterfly on my face. Step by step I'll show you how I did it and share my thoughts on why we should be more like butterflies.
1. Butterfly wings are transparent.
A butterfly wing is actually formed by layers of chitin, the protein that makes up an insect's exoskeleton. These layers are so thin you can see right through them.
Be more transparent in your life, let people into your life, live more, love more, laugh more.
You are special, interesting and unique with your traits that make you who you are, so show the world who you really are and they will love you for who you are, if they don't they were never meant to be there in the first place.
2. A newly emerged butterfly can't fly.
Inside the chrysalis, a developing butterfly waits to emerge with its wings collapsed around its body. When it finally breaks free of the pupal case, it greets the world with tiny, shriveled wings.
Patience Patience Patience! Not everything will work out all at one go, but if you truly believe in something be prepared to make some hard sacrifices. Crawl; walk; run and then fly, I promise it will mean so much more at the end and you will appreciate it more.
3. Butterflies employ all kinds of tricks to keep from being eaten.
Butterflies rank pretty low on the food chain, with lots of hungry predators happy to make a meal of them. Some butterflies fold their wings to blend in to the background, using camouflage to render themselves all but invisible to predators.

Although they may be hundreds of people that may love and support you, some people will let you down and sometimes it isn't even their intention. So always have a back up plan, and don't blame other people for not being on the same page as you. Work on you own greatness, choose your friends wisely, let them help but never expect them to put themselves on hold for you rather ensure you have your own tricks up you sleeve to keep you afloat.
4. Butterflies drink from mud puddles.
A butterfly cannot live on sugar alone; it needs minerals, too. To supplement its diet of nectar, a butterfly will occasionally sip from mud puddles, which are rich in minerals and salts.

Drink water guys!!! Its good for you... even if it's from a mud puddle! Lol. But don't take yourself too seriously jump onto a puddle on a rainy day, jump onto a leave just to hear and feel that crunch sound, smile at kids, appreciate a butterfly passing by.
5. Butterflies live just 2-4 weeks, usually.
Once it emerges from its chrysalis as an adult, a butterfly has just a few short weeks to live. During that time, it focuses all its energy on two tasks – eating and mating

Finally; Life is short, cherish it, make the people you love feel appreaciated. Chase after your dreams. Find your passion, and focus on trying to fulfill only that and happiness will follow.
Well this has been fun, I hope it will reach those who need it.
Love you lots.
