so..
my friend christen and i talk about channeling our black swan all the time. to be a black swan is to be fearless. it's to put it out there..all of it and not give a shit what people think. i think its being powerful, seductive and sexy. i...am totally a white swan. i don't think that this is necessarily a bad thing but its debilitating in a way. white swans are proper, they hold back, i think they do the right thing because it's "right" not necessarily because they want to. i want to be the perfect shade of gray and this is achieved through balance. i am a white swan because that's my nature but sometimes change is a good thing and black swan wants to come out and play! i'm going to conduct an experiment...its going to be very a la fake it til i make it. i will keep you posted.
Ok I loved this post. I can totally agree. I want to be a mix of the black and white swan. I always do the "right" thing even if I don't want to, because I would just feel "dirty" if I didn't. It would be a huge weight on my shoulders knowing I did something I am not morally happy with. And I think that is why I have such a hard time understanding people. People who use other people. People who will step all over you to advance themselves. People who are ignorant and have no regard for others feelings. It is absurd how there are people like that in this World. People like that help me turn into a Black swan... by saying "I don't give a shit what you think of me, I'm going to advance myself in this World".... yet, I still give a shit what I think of me, therefore, I can not do anything I don't ethically believe in. Turning me back into a White timid swan. Does this make sense?
