The Memoir Of Ms. Butterfly

Miss Butterfly Genesis

I’ve always known. From the moment I took my first breath, I carried the truth like armor: I can do whatever I put my mind to. Every “no” they tried to hand me, I turned into a “yes” they couldn’t ignore. Every doubt they cast on me only gave me fuel. They thought they could slow me down by pointing to my legs, as if motion only lives there. But they forgot about my spirit, my mind, my voice.

Each time someone dares to tell me “no,” it’s like daring me to awaken the deepest parts of myself again. To rise louder. To move in ways they’ll never understand. Just because my legs don’t work as they expect… does that mean the rest of me shouldn’t shine? Shouldn’t work at its fullest?

Whenever they say I can’t, I find a new way to make it happen. That’s what makes me who I am. That’s how I became Miss Butterfly Genesis.
