I really enjoyed this! The butterfly is truly an amazing creature and we are lucky if we can say it represents us. I really like how you incorporated the short sentences with the longer ones. The contrast is good.

The butterfly I like to refer to as my personal symbolism.  It is beauty. 

             It knows itself, but it knows no how well it relates.

I think that sentence needs some tweaking. I found it to be kind of confusing.

As a butterfly it knows its beauty, as caterpillar it does not see the beauty that lies ahead, but knows what it is like then and there.

This is a run on sentence and it kind of seems repetitive with the as a butterfly as a caterpillar. A caterpillar does not see the beauty that lies ahead, but knows how to live beautifully... i don't know, but you can be more specific with the then and there. I would also go back through and check some of your butterflies are capitalized while others are not, same with the caterpillars.

Great work!

Very interesting piece, and it's always great to hear insight on someone's tattoo! The piece flowed very well.

I don't think 'personal' fits in the first sentence. 'no how well' was kind of clunky as well, that's probaly a typo though. Metamorphesis's is metamorphsisizes, I believe. For the last sentence, I would put 'Butterfly is not sorry that it was ever a Caterpiller' but that might ruin the name-basis of the two.

In so many languages, the word for butterfly is pleasing to say and hear: mariposa, borboleta, farfalla, papillon. It is a beautiful, amazing creature and an excellent topic to write about. The butterfly symbolizes so much, which you have captured fairly well here. The first sentence, though, doesn't quite make sense to me. I'm not sure 'refer' and 'symbolism' are the best choice of words. To me, refer carries a connotation of dry, clinical, book, fact-checking, like you'd used a reference book, or be referred to a specialist. I would think a more spiritual, existential word would fit better. And should 'symbolism' perhaps be 'symbol'? I can see a butterfly being a symbol, but being a symbolism sounds strange to me.

My favorite line is the last one:

Butterfly is not sorry that it was ever Caterpillar, but knows that without Caterpillar there could never be a butterfly.

This is a great attitude to realize. There is no point in regretting what you used to be, because it helped make you what you are. I'm not entirely sure that 'but' is the best wording, though. I would suggest changing the comma to a semicolon and turning the 'but' to an 'it' -- ... ever Catepillar; it knows ... I really like the use Catepillar and Butterfly as names. maybe the final 'a butterfly' should just be 'Butterfly', too?

A wonderful work and I'm glad I chose to read it. Thanks for sharing!

Much better, although it was an impressive piece in the first place! Thanks for letting me know you fixed it up.

I really liked this the first time and I'm lovin it even more with the corrections. Great job!

I like this piece and I am wondering what it may look like, or read like, if you kept all the caterpillar parts in one area and all the butterfly parts in one area instead of shifting back and forth, unless that was, of course, your intention.

Maybe think about it as a piece of poetry? I look forward to seeing the revisions you make, if you elect to make any.
