From A Caterpillar To A Butterfly

Time-lapse photography is a technique whereby the frequency at which film frames are captured (the frame rate) is much lower than that used to view the sequence. When played at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing making processes that would normally appear subtle to the human eye, e.g. the motion of the sun and stars in the sky, become very pronounced.

In time-lapse photography, you can watch a plant grow from a seedling. You can watch its leaves unfurl and reach hopefully toward the sun. You can see the buds form. You can see the petals open until they are rich and full. But if you sat and just watched that plant grow, you wouldn't notice much of anything.

Changes in life are practically the same; they happen but they are often unnoticed. Don't obsess or overthink about them; just be yourself, live for the moment, let things take their natural course and even if it doesn't seem like much right now, but once the blooming begins, you'll find great joy and fulfillment, and you'll wake up one day looking out the window, and you will realise that you're not the same person you were a day before or even a moment ago.  You will realise that you're a more mature, experienced and complete person.

The process is everlasting because everyday we learn or acquire something new, and the outcome never stops getting better... isn't this the way a caterpillar turns into a butterfly?
