Ever thought about being something else? My brain goes to strange places.

Have you ever though about what it would be like to be something else? I have.

What would it be like to be a butterfly?
You start out so small. You hope you don't get squished by someone who thinks you look gross or are scared of you. Then you manage to grow big enough and somehow know you need to make a home to live in while you go through a huge transformation.
You wake up... You spread your wings, you fly away. You can see everything. You are beautiful and magical. But there are still worries. What if you get caught and put in a jar? What if they don't leave air holes for you and feed you and water you? What if you are minding your own business and a car hits you and you become a smear?
But then you think of resting on a flower in the sun or sitting on the very top of a tree at the top of a mountain. You and all your other butterfly friends. You all fly away on a small journey and everyone sees this beautiful array of colors ...

It's the odd things that come to mind that make me who I am

Very nice butterfly drawing! You should continue to post photos of your artwork along with your stories. I would rather be a butterfly than a mosquito, because most people like butterflies much more than mosquitoes! And I wouldn't want to be a fly, because they sit on such disgusting things. Or a moth, because they waste so much time smacking into porch lights.

Haha those are bugs. I don't like bugs.
They have their place in life but not for my drawing, my windshield, or my living room flying in a circle driving my dogs and myself crazy haha
