  1. a small butterfly finds its place in this world. It hopes for better things in life, but you are rarely so lucky. This is a special moment, a moment when you realise just how delicate life is. Remember how precious it is.

  3. Pedals found in circular but spread out form are sightly – they’re even better than the first few florals I’m designing – I’m rhyming – It’s all about the timing . . . which I’m out of.

    wtf
    duh?

    Chrysalis is the wish before it’s out with birthday candles – It’s all about the vision of an inner-symptom found with – this outage, electric a mouth with – injected wisdom pounded out with thousands of arousing…

  8. A chrysalis is a little package of sleeping life. It looks still and dead but miraculous changes are happening underneath. sometimes when I look at my teenage son watching tv, I wonder what’s happening inside! Much like a chrysalis!

  9. They always used to say it was a cocoon. Then it became a chrysalis around 2nd grade, which became a hair studio, where I got my first dyke haircut. Regardless of the 60 dollar haircut, I still haven’t gotten laid since. Gay in the City Different is trickier than they let on.

  10. So, one time when I was little I found a chrysalis in my front yard. I thought it was the single most amazing thing I’d ever seen.

    It probably is.

  11. I love her. I don’t know why, and I can never tell her. I want to be with her every minute of the day; I feel like I’m going out of my mind.

  12. Wear, am i supposed to seriously right about this. I guess it might strike the question ‘what to wear’? However, isn’t that too boring, bland, and lame. So i will write that what to wear is something that should bring out the true beauty on the inside, not what is expected.

  13. I have no idea what that word means. I better brush up on my English skills, because this might very well be the first time that I’ve seen that word ever. Not good.

  14. Chrysalis is an ancient rock, born from the womb of the Great Mother and the First Father. The rock holds wisdom from both parents, and to any holder, provides unimaginable power. Prophesy states that the holder of Chrysalis and his family will rule the kingdom forever.

  17. I just gave my friend Monika a book about monarch butterflies at lunch today so seeing “chrysalis” is very special and precious right now, the whole summer feels like a chrysalis full of little words with wings who are ready to fly into our rooms and befriend us or connect to other words.

  19. What is this word? What does it mean beyond… What is the origination of this word? I don’t want to write about butterflies. How about moths? Moths can be more interesting, perhaps. Perhaps. I don’t know. Moths seem to have more substance. Butterflies are light, airy, almost as if they aren’t to survive long.

  20. This word reminds me of a car for some reason and now I and thinking of religeon. Alias comes to mind but I am sure that is because some of the letters match.

  21. At the moment I have no clue what this word means. I think I’m going to go look it up in the dictionary right after these 60 seconds are done. Then I’ll probably read up on what other people, who I HOPE will be pretty much as clueless as I am about this word, had to say.

  22. I don’t even know what chrysalis is. Which only leads me to the realization that I know what very few words actually mean, at least, words out of context. It’s embarrassing sometimes, as I consider myself a great lover of diction.

    Weeoo
  23. Here I am.
    The caterpillar life was wonderful, though I’m on to a new stage.
    A new life.
    A new calling.
    All my dreams will finally come true.
    Flying in the wind.

  24. There was once a bunch of people called the Elementals. They fought a bad guy named Saker. Chrysalis was owned and came back to own them. WTFpwn them, especially that fire girl. Manno banano that was rude. Oh wait, that wasn’t Chrysalis, that was the shapeshifter. Chrysalis sucks.

    no, it’s where butterflies live.
    it’s safe and green.

  29. Chrysalis’s contain my budding potential now it is unrefined but soon it will break free and the world will fear me. I will reign fire down from the cosmos and no one shall be safe from my wrath. So be warned. I am coming for you.

  30. The chrysalis of her mind opened, and her thoughts were butterflies, exposed in the sunlight of my understanding. I was doing it! I was reading her mind.

    “This is amazing!”

    Her thoughts swooped through mine, and I saw her childhood years, her teen days, and I saw her husband die.

    “It’s working,” I said. “This is incredible.”

    Then something went wrong. Terribl

  31. I studied the word chrysalis with fierce intent. Unknowingly part of my own narrative, I began to pick apart the word, letter by letter, in a manner that would impress Derrida himself.

  32. in chrysalis there lies a time of growth and maturity that is not so much earned or experienced, but rather given. It doesn’t quite compute with me how such change can happen without change happening. Be safe be in a cocoon, but know that its not real.

    Matthew Muller
  33. There are three chrysalis’ atop the leaf on the plant and they all look brown and shriveled due to the lack of nutrients in the caterpillars life cycle.

  36. I hope you break free one day. you’re beautiful when you’re not hiding. I don’t know who hurt you. I don’t want them to ever do it again.

    the greatest protection you’ll ever find will be in my arms.

  37. chrysalis of butterflies,
    littered on the ground,
    remind us of the end in the
    beginning again
    why are we all here as so?
    we used to be much different,

    now we live in holes and tunnels,
    why have you strayed so far from me?

  39. I’M SCARED.
    YOU CAN’T–
    CAN’T MAKE ME DO THIS.
    WHAT’S OUT THERE?

    I MIGHT DIE.
    I MIGHT STARVE, I WON’T KNOW HOW TO LIVE.

    (survival
    instinct)

    Watch me break free
    and fly away.
