Survival Guide: The Butterfly Syndrome

I’ve been thinking a lot about naming this post. I would call it Butterfly syndrome, but it doesn’t quiet exist, so let’s just pretend this is something I made up.

It is a feeling of being stuck at one point of your life, as if you feel like you are not going anywhere. 

I’m sure a lot of you have felt this before, but I decided to give it a name. I chose those name since butterflies go through this presides before they actually become what they are supposed to be. I believer every human being experiences it in their lives.

It’s a simple feeling that you are not quite sure where to place. When you feel like everything is wrong and no matter what you do nothing is changing. It’s one of the most frustrating feelings when you do everything in your power yet you see no results. It can be very discouraging and sad.

But don’t worry we all have been there. And we will many more times.

Because before every big change in our lives we first feel stuck. You need to feel this helpless feeling before you can move one. That’s simply how life works.

There is no way to avoid it, there’s no way to fight it. Life can’t be perfect all the time. Sometimes you need to experience the bad things as well in order to appreciate the positive things that are waiting for you. I know it sucks and it’s scary. No one wants to go through this part of their lives. We all wish we could just fast forward to the good parts. But in this movie called life you need to live though all the parts.

But maybe by giving it a name and acknowledging it – you will be less afraid of it. You will be able to face it and overcome it. Or if not overcome it just wait it out.

Because everything will be all right.

You will wake up one day as a butterfly and you will leave all those negative things or feeling behind you. You will spread your wings and fly.

But first you need to be stuck.
