Bullshit

You Are Indigo

Of all the shades of blue, you are the most funky, unique, and independent. Expressing yourself and taking a leap of faith has always been easy for you.

What Color Blue Are You?

Thats just bollocks.

I do it, but I don't find it any easier than complying with expectations, because there are too many expectations in this world and whatever you do, its impossible to 'get it right' according to everybody. Hung for a sheep as a lamb, as they say.

The way I see it, all you have to do is say this to yourself, every day for a month, in the mirror, in the voice of a proper Jewish mother:

"But darling, people will always take the piss!"

Once you have fathomed, acknowledged and accepted* that somebody out there, every day, is going to mentally discard you as pathetic or unworthy; once you have worked out that its their loss, once you have woken up to the fact that someone (or possibly several people, or so what if its everybody?) will think you are at best irrelevant and at worst a total jerk whatever you damn well do......

.........then you are free.

Because you may as well be exactly who you damn well please, or even set out to shock if you like, because its not going to make one iota of difference to the number of stupid people passing their stupid judgements. The freedom is amazing. The only critic left that matters one jot is yourself, your conscience.

It will, however, make a difference to the number of heart-on-the-sleeve, daredevil, honest people who see you as a sibling adventurer and treasure you for it. Try.


*Accepting it is the hard part - too many people run their lives in fear of what certain people would say, and many that break away do it by 'pushing back' - the energy they expend to act in defiance of these unnamed people ends up being expressed as a counter attack. There are more choices than the roles of victim and aggressor (or equal combatant). Acceptance is like agreeing to differ, with forgiveness thrown in.
