Transformation rarely feels beautiful while it’s happening.
When a caterpillar enters its cocoon, it doesn’t know it is becoming a butterfly. From its perspective, everything familiar disappears. Movement stops. The world as it knew it dissolves.
That’s what growth often feels like.
The end of a relationship.
The loss of a job.
The collapse of a plan.
The silence after disappointment.
In those moments, it feels like everything is over. But sometimes what feels like destruction is actually reconstruction.
Biologically, metamorphosis is not a simple upgrade — it is a complete reorganization. The caterpillar’s old form breaks down before something new can emerge. Growth requires surrender.
In your life, the same principle applies. The season that feels suffocating may be preparing you for expansion. The setback may be repositioning you. The pause may be protecting you.
Not every ending is a failure. Some are transformations in disguise.
You are not buried.
You are becoming.
