The Butterfly Sign

Signs. At first, we would not know what to make of it, especially if you did not ask for one.

Is it a sign to what we want, or something that should make us avoid what we were thinking of doing? There are always often two sides to everything, and we see what we choose to believe.

Decisions need to be made in life. Some change your life forever, and some decisions are as simple as which milk to buy for tomorrow's breakfast. I got a better situation I can think of right now. Example: if you were thinking of flying out to just one country for a vacation, but could not make up your mind, who do you ask? When friends and family run out of things to tell you, the next thing you do is ask for a sign. Maybe a blue butterfly for, example, the USA. A red butterfly for the UK. 

So, you walk around, no butterflies. You avoid areas where there usually are butterflies so as not to affect whatever sign comes your way. A blue butterfly decides to linger on your arm, and immediately you know what to do. Then, you notice that only one wing was blue, and the other was red. How is that even possible?

What do you make out of it then? 

You could choose to believe that you are supposed to travel to the US or maybe travel to both countries and choose to fly to United Kingdom later. 

Or.

Maybe the butterfly came your way because you always had a choice to go elsewhere, but neither to the USA or the UK. How did I even come up with that? The blue and the red color showing up at the same time might be a sign that one cancels the other one out, because it was neither just blue or just red, it was both colors.

What if you actually made up your mind that you would travel to the US without asking for a sign, and then this butterfly shows up. Is that also a sign?

One might think that this topic or question is just a bit too simple, possibly even idiotic. Others might think that to even ask this is to overanalyze the situation, but there comes a time in one's life where you can't simply decide on anything; too many wrong decisions that made you doubt yourself, or you just want to simply leave that particular question to fate. What do you do then?
