Butterflies...

Curious things, those butterflies are.

They come in various size and colors, from nondescript dull to breathtakingly beautiful.

And they can be found in such varied environments too, from the wide open fields, to the small enclosed spaces that are our stomachs.

I'm sure we've all felt it at some point or other in our lives. Usually preceding moments of great happenings. When we are nervous or anxious. When the heart is pumping like mad and sending the adrenaline rushing through our blood vessels at an alarming rate. When we're not sure whether what's gonna happen next is gonna be greatly glorious or hugely disastrous.

An easy to relate example would be during the final interview of a job you really, really want. Or perhaps during the first real date with someone you've set your eyes on for the longest time. Whatever the situation, the butterflies are sure to flutter when the outcome is either win big or go broke.

Well, as high school as it seems to be nervous for something rather frivolous like your first date, at least it's proof that we're still alive. That we can still feel something and haven't gone completely numb or zombified.

And that's a beautiful thing, right?
