Life does not always look beautiful while we are living through it. Some stages are awkward. Some are difficult. Some leave us wondering whether we are moving forward at all.

Perhaps they are part of becoming who we are meant to be.
Barrymore once said: “Everyone is like a butterfly, they start out ugly and awkward and then morph into beautiful graceful butterflies that everyone loves.” The quote is widely attributed to the actor and appears in several collections of her sayings.
