"Monarch, Peacock, Red Admiral, Painted Lady, what do you think we will become?"
"My mind has not meddled in metamorphosis lately"
"Am I just a silhouette of desire to you? Alluring but untouchable?"
"Questions drip off your tongue so rapidly. You're salivating at the thought of our future. Stagnation might be good for you"
"I want us to form the most nurturing chrysalis, almost iridescent, growing in harmony so much so that our daydreams intermingle, our subconscious shares the same dream space, when you try to serenade me, the notes erupt from my throat too."
"The chrysalis would entrap my soul with the intensity you speak about"
"Entrapment is a state of mind. The incubation of our love will only metamorphose to become beautiful, free creatures, don't you see? Don't you want that?"
"Monarch, Peacock, Red Admiral, Painted Lady, what I think we will become? These sound like a monumental task. One that I do not desire and that your soul yearns for. I hope you kiss the stars one day."

Void: Inner Battle
"Did we ever find someone to love us so deeply that the pain ingrained in our veins seemed to disintegrate?" "We've found caterpillar love, hoping it would spread its wings, but it never did. Now we sit with ourselves at the dinner table wondering if we'll ever capture our monarch. Twirling our spaghetti, wishing butterflies were filling our stomachs instead of pounds of pasta"

What I Would Do if I Joined Vocal Today
I'd do things a bit different if I joined Vocal today instead of February 2021. For one thing; the platform itself has changed quite a lot. Acting on input from its writer/creators many enhancements to the reporting, pay structure, engagement, and even ownership possibilities are now in place. (Yes- I am aware that not every change has been greeted with approval. This is not that: I am focusing on what I would do differently today.)
