I think that people can relate to this on a deeper level because we all have doubts about ourselves. We all can underestimate our capabilities. Like the scared caterpillar, we don't know what we can accomplish (at least teenagers seem to feel that way!) ha!

...one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love....I love...I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on. -Mr. Darcy

Wow, I really like that 3 lines can be so meaningful! Is it weird that I can totally relate to this? On a deeper meaning level, anyways :) Great job!
