Butterfly Jitters

Fluttering heartache and anxious butterflies.

That butterfly jitters emoji feels like the moment before you tell someone you're leaving them but you're still not sure if it's the right thing to do it just feels like your heart is fluttering and your mind is racing

I see that 🦋💔😰 a lot on social media when people are posting about big life changes like moving countries or starting over it’s like they’re saying goodbye to one part of their life while greeting another but they're not sure if the new thing will be better

In the office, seeing that emoji might mean someone is nervous about a big presentation or afraid they’ll mess up in front of everyone it's like having butterflies in your stomach and a heart that feels heavy all at once

My grandma uses that emoji to describe how she felt when she first started dating my dad she said her heart was breaking from the loneliness but also fluttering with hope for something new it’s like old love mixed with new fear

Sometimes, that emoji shows up in jokes about first dates or awkward moments like when you’re trying to impress someone but your mind goes blank and you feel like you're going to run out of words before they even ask a second question
