From butterfly to bear
Added 2022-10-27 21:56:35 +0000 UTCI've been paralyzed for almost three years, but within the last year my shoulder blades seem to be waking up and can often present themselves as the BANE of my existence. Once upon a time, an ex lover of mine told me that my spirit animal was the butterfly. This resonated with me at the time because in my late teens I was diagnosed with anorexia and during treatment and recovery purple butterflies were a symbol of hope and transformation. It seemed cool to me when my ex lover picked this card because they had no idea of my past in the specific way butterfly related to me. That being said, I no longer resonate with this flimsy beautiful insect as much anymore. I now understand why bears are constantly looking for trees to push there shoulders against… it must be difficult as a bear when you need a shoulder massage because I imagine other bears can't really help out because they have claws on their paws. It also would explain why Bears appear to be very grumpy or disassociated from their environment sometimes. Our similarities are now uncanny.
Spirit animals don't always stay the same throughout a lifetime…
