“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty” Mayou Angelo

If you don’t know by now you can’t pimp a butterfly and here’s, why.

  1. They’ve Been Through Too Much to Allow Themselves to be Pimped

Crawling around on the ground as a caterpillar, ugly AF, and then developing inside a chrysalis is not easy. Inside the chrysalis there’s barely enough room to move, it’s hot, uncomfortable, and nobody believes your destiny, interim, the caterpillar gets no respect from peers, social media or family.

2. They Have the Ultimate Hustle

A caterpillar recognizes its destiny and starts preparing for the metamorphosis inside the chrysalis. Like Noah, no one believes it is going to rain, and the caterpillars’ acquaintances sit back and watch as they toil and labor, gathering food and hunting for a sturdy limb to spin their chrysalis.

Friends and family watch from the sideline, simply because they have no desire to be a butterfly, being a moth is as far as they plan to go.

3. Caterpillars are Strong, and Carry Much Weight
