How does one become a butterfly? One has to want to fly so much that they are willing to give up being a caterpillar.

One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes.

Dont tell God how big your problems are, tell your problems how big God is.
Dear Christopher, I just wanted to tell you that you mean a lot to me!! You make me a better person. There’s no measure to the amount of love and respect I have for you. I love you with all my heart. You are my butterfly!!
When you fall in love, it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake, and then it subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the desire to mate every second of the day. It is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every part of your body. I am telling you some truths. For that is just being in love; which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over, when being in love has burned away…
