Daily Prompt – May 30, 2026

It’s not exactly advice but it was profound and it was helpful. I rely on it to this day. I once told a partner (we’re no longer together) that I felt heavy. It was my way of describing my emotional state with anxiety and such. He told me that I wasn’t heavy, I was light like a butterfly. Those words and their meaning have stuck with me. Butterflies have become a powerful symbol for me. I remember the message whenever my negative thoughts try to weigh me down. This person and I may no longer be together and it may not have ended on good terms, but they left me with a great mental health boosting thought process and I will always be grateful.
