It’s Not a Life Crisis, it’s a Life Chrysalis
I’m sure at some point in elementary school, you were exposed to or taught the life stages of a caterpillar turning into the beautiful butterfly it was always meant to be. Probably in science class. The caterpillar painstakingly attaches its body to a branch or twig with silk, and then meticulously forms a chrysalis. Inside this protection is where the magical alchemy occurs. During the transformation phase, it’s dark and gooey while the DNA reconfigures, and at the end of this transition cycle, (not a crisis), the creature emerges into the being it was destined to become.
