A Butterfly’s Diaries

What happens after you survive the cocoon? The Wings begins where survival leaves off. In the second installment of A Butterfly's Diaries, CeeCee The Butterfly turns toward the quieter work of becoming: learning to take up space without apology, finding a voice that no longer needs permission, choosing softness without mistaking it for weakness, setting boundaries without abandoning tenderness, and trusting the woman emerging on the other side. Across 95 poems, The Wings explores what it means to live after the breaking to discover that healing is not always dramatic, strength does not always announce itself, and becoming does not require leaving every version of yourself behind. These poems make room for the woman who is still tired. Still soft.Still learning . Still becoming. The woman who survived, yes, but also the woman who wants more than survival.Because eventually, the question changes. It is no longer: How did I make it through? It becomes: Now that I am here, how do I want to live? The Wings is for anyone learning that growth can be gentle, boundaries can be loving, softness can survive, and choosing yourself can become something you practice every day. You do not have to become someone else to grow wings. Sometimes, you simply have to stop leaving yourself behind. A Butterfly's Diaries: The Wings is Book Two in AButterfly'ss Diaries, following The Cocoon.
