At times I can be a real fire-breathing dragon. I also like butterflies. I like their colours and how they symbolize the ability to change.  So I decided that dragon+butterfly=dragonfly and jokingly I made it my symbol. 
Recently,  I discovered that the dragonfly stands for transcending the self-imposed restrictions that prevent us from changing and growing. People who identify with dragonflies strive to achieve balance with mental clarity and control. 
Like the dragonfly I am drawn to water, and I hope that like the dragonfly I can stand for expressing mental and emotional balance in everything I create.
