No, this is not about the theory of chaos made so popular by movie like Jurassic Park and The Butterfly Effect. This blog is about letting go of the old shells of our lives, in general: The Past. It can apply to any condition, a job, a relationship (family, friend or lover), or any condition. The Old Shell represents our stage as a caterpillar. It was a beginning stage in our life and, for a while, it was who we were or what we were consumed by. We lived as if there was no reality. And, for a while, it was amazing or, perhaps, merely a security blanket. But, then, you hit a point in your life where the Old Shell seemed to detach a little from your identity. Soon, you felt as if it was getting heavy and, even sooner, you secretly began to wish it away. But, the time came for the Old Shell to fall off and, strangely, after so many nights of wanting off your back, you find yourself fighting to hold on to it. "Who am I without this shell?" you think. However, circumstances force it away and soon you are naked and cold.

But, within time, short time that is, you find that you have transitioned into something new. You have become a butterfly: a far superior being to what you once were.

Now, you could never imagine wearing that shell again.
