Butterfly
What do you think of when you hear the word butterfly? Something beautiful right? A fantastical creature, colorful, magnificent... Why? Have you ever seen a butterfly? It is freakishly ugly! In fact, it's terrifying! It's like an ant with leaves attached!
And even the leaves attached to it can sometimes be frightening. Some butterflies camouflage themselves to look like dark, soulless eyes staring right back at you. How is that beautiful?
Then let's not also forget how butterflies first start out when they're born. Let's start with some perspective - most things when first born are ... eh... *socially perceived* as cute and cuddly. Think of kittens, puppies, and even chickens. Now think of baby butterflies. They're not tiny butterflies with a bit of cuteness attached. They're practically worms with legs.

State of Identity
Gone are the days when one would try to learn from the successful. Now we have those who turn a blind eye to the solution, embrace their problems with pride, and become one with their failures.

Thought without action. Life without meaning. A lump of coal without wheels.

Void
I fear boredom. I don't know why. It's just the way it is. I should be happy that my two hardest classes are now over, but I instead feel empty. I should look forward to a fun trip I've been planning this month, but I realize that once it passes (or even in the midst of it), there will be nothing but a void.
I can't help feeling similar to Jonathan Shields in "The Bad and the Beautiful" (1952). It has haunted me ever since I watched it two years ago for a film class.

It is not as if I pursue a goal or task because I enjoy it either. It...[More]
