As i sit in my car,dreamily gazing out of my window,I drift into the world of my thoughts.Life-loathing,depressive and self-depreciating thoughts flood my mind and in a perfect sync my mind sings-
Life is a battle,you are a soldier-FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!
But then i see a butterfly flutter,her wings spread out,shimmering silver and red patterns radiating happy vibes.
She hovered over delicate yellow flowers….gratified and calm,free and charming,gentle and serene,her tranquility enraptured me and she was the lovliest thing i had seen in this beautiful yet dreadful world.I sensed a ghost of smile on my lips.In a fraction of second my car sped away from it and i was left captivated by the pretty,little thing i just saw.
A few moments before i was desperately searching for a reason to smile and be happy about,and now as i saw the butterfly,my mouth quickened to curve upwards amd ,my world-loathing thoughts invaded!
But this time,showing my grit,i pushed them aside,and warned them,not to haunt and spoil my little moment of glee,and i smiled heartily.
I smiled because i had seen a beautiful butterfly which was like an omen,telling me in shouty-capital letters-
LET GO OF WHAT MAKES YOU SAD
SMILE AT THE LITTLE PLEASURES THAT LIFE OFFERS!😊
