Transitions in life: from cicada to a 'teenage' butterfly

     We all have our time to start something in life, but sometimes this time does not reveal itself until we are ready to face it. If someone asks me about my feeling right now, I'll tell him or her: ''_Well, I feel like a cicada turning into a 'teenage butterfly'.'' That's a metaphor, for sure. I just love metaphors...I reckon you can express yourself in a funny or relaxed way. Ok, and then I am asked: _ What do you mean by teenage butterfly? I chose butterfly because it is an animal which passes a phase from an ugly insect to a nice stage of a beautiful one.

     I consider my last decade as a time of cicada. I was closed in myself, not questioning why I had to go for those jobs with boring numbers, sheets, budget reports. Now, I have a work which I enjoy very much. I'll probably be very passionate about it. I don't know, it's only something that crosses my mind now. I feel it in a different way, considering I was born again in this July, 2011. I do hope God blesses me as a 'teenage butterfly', running after the next phase of a mature, wise and forever happy butterfly.
