believe butterfly mean
Pretty That's what I am, I guess. I mean, people have been telling me that's what I am since I was two. Maybe younger. Pretty as a picture. (Who wants to be a cliché?) Pretty as an angel. (Can you see them?) Pretty as a butterfly. (But isn't that really just a glam bug?) Cliché, invisible, or insectlike, I grew up knowing I was pretty and believing everything good about me had to do with how I looked. The mirror was my best friend. Until it started telling me I wasn't really pretty enough.

Most of all, it means not blowing it up. Especially not in God’s name.

Except when it comes to Mom. She is, and always has been, the driving force in this family. And sometimes that means driving us head-on, no possible change of course, into a wall.
mean breathing risk
Living means taking chances. Risks. Playing safe all the time is being dead inside, even if you happen to still be breathing.

But death doesn't scare me. To know exactly when I might expect it, up close and in my face, would actually be a comfort. Because to tell the truth, most of the time dying seems pretty much like my only means of escape.
mean commitment perfect
Commitment means losing yourself to gain something temporary. Nothing lasts. Not looks. Not love.

Kaeleigh, queen of passive, all the time saying no, but not strong enough to mean it.
