'So this the last time I will be witnessing the earth huh?' Thought she, little green caterpillar, standing on the edge of the mountain. One-step and she will be lost in the deep ocean leaving no trace to the mundane world.

Trees were her common friend and of flowers. But whenever she went to the trees, the flowers mocked –' How ugly!' and how foolish, she thought it was her fault and she was the one who always apologized. But when the spring wind came to say 'hello' to nature, she along with the flowers danced with the rhythm.

But one day she broke down, they said it's all her fault to be incompetent, to be not enough. To always be the nagging one.

And just when she jumped, she saw how her little cute body was slowly turning into the unknown. She was turning into a butterfly! Glittery, glorious, brave, strong, kind, evolved, beautiful- inside out.

And just like that butterfly, she learned to fly by spreading her beautiful wings, glitters of her soul falling, and blessing the earth. The flowers she used to envy now are envying of her beauty. After all, it didn't matter to be beautiful, they were still stuck with the tree, locked with the soil regardless of their priceless beauty, but look at her she is a butterfly, freedom spelled her wings. She now became friends with the wind, the sun, the ocean waves, the moon even the stars.

Eventually, she learned, the definition of beauty, spelling- F-R-E-E-D-O-M.

"To all passengers, thank you for choosing our airlines. Please attach your seatbelts and follow our instructions..." the flight attendant continued to ramble about the necessities before the plane started its journey. She is going to have a one-month-long vacation abroad to her favorite Indonesia. Now she is free, brave, strong, independent, and...

Beautiful, like always.
