Metaphorsis: A Transition of Change

Image
      Metamorphosis, a transition in habits and physical form of an animal after going through a phase of development and rebirth. The mkst well known example of this are caterpillars conversion to butterflies, marking change towards beauty and elegance. It's as if the animal has completely changed from one creature to another. Similarly, us humans once reflecting on our past and wanting to go through a process of tranformation. It is less of a biological but rather a psychological change to us people in which we attempt to correct and rectify our actions and habits over the years.Where we humans personally mature and develop.
