B for Butterflies

This is my second blog for April A-Z Challenge.

Do you remember the first time you saw your crush in college? Do you remember getting to see her again, and do you remember finding a reason to see her again and again? Did you feel something in your stomach, that's exactly the insect that I am going to write about today.

I find Butterflies, the most amazing creature on the planet. They represent absolute beauty when they are out there in an open field, at the same time they represent absolute chaos when talked about in the scientific theory of the "Butterfly effect". Personally, butterflies have been a big part of my childhood.

I grew up in a little village, which was blessed with greens and glees. It was an easy task to spot half the animals outside my home, you would go to find in a normal zoo. 

On most evenings during the rainy season, after coming back from school and having lunch. I would spend hours chasing butterflies in the fields behind my home. I would be careful to first observe which butterfly to go after. That would be the ones who changed their sitting positions least often, and the ones who take longer time to fly from the position they were sitting at.

Catching the butterflies didn't mean anything specific to me when I was a child. But now whenever I look back at my time today, I wonder if was it my ego chasing the most innocent flies. The one who I believed was easy to dominate. Was it me, trying to capture and imprint my victory over the most beautiful creatures that my eyes could stop, rather than letting it be at its most natural habitat. 

Is it just me trying to make everything that finds beautiful, or is it all of us as humans. When we find something that we love we get that strong urge to make it our own. But is love not about letting go of your loved one be the way they want to go. Is love not listening, understanding, and accepting the way of your loved one rather than showing up your fake strength in trying to dominate the other one to get confined to your mental web.

Why are expectations replacing acceptance, why is ownership replacing freedom, and why is restriction replacing letting go. That's for us to think, and respond

What do butterflies represent to you, drop in the comments and let me know about it.

My butterfly friend, inspired and gave me the idea to choose the subject for today's blog, and got me involved in my childhood memories after ages today.
