Pink is my favorite color. My most favorite color. I have a very specific shade of pink that I love the best.
The Jewel on this ring is part of that shade of pink.
The pink in this sunset creates such an intense feeling of I-
don’t-know-what inside me, I just have to look away. Lol.

This is a picture of a plant in Hawaii. I absolutely love Hawaii!! I went to Graduate School there. They have soo many plants there that are naturally pink!
This is me: Kayyisa. Cute Huh? (Ky-yi-sah. There is no “sh” sound anywhere. The “i” sounds like it does in the word “it” or “this”). I’m not sure I want to continue my Swan Life: The Ugly Duck series. I’m not really sure I should claim that I know anything about embracing Swanhood. However, I still refuse to be an Ugly Duck. I know I am a Beautiful Swan.
My Ugly Duck Soulmate decided he didn’t want to become a Handsome Swan. This stumped me for about two seconds. I asked the Heavens (actually I cursed and demanded for them) to send me a new Soulmate to replace the Sorry Bastard I was given. Honestly, I don’t believe in living unfulfilled. In becoming myself (Beautiful Swan) I discovered that everyone loves me. Every Man is attracted to me. I am very nice, sweet and happy. I used to be afraid of Super Attractive Men. Now I see that we are in the same league. Actually, I am out of their league, because nearly no one has approached me with the confidence I am seeking. I am looking for an ALPHA Male. Being an Alpha has more to do with having Confidence In Self, than being attractive alone. I met one person I would call a Baby Alpha. While still in Hawaii, I met this decent looking guy at my friend’s house. I only met him once before I was ejected out of Hawaii (by the Universe) and into to California to see my Soulmate.
This Baby Alpha was attractive enough with pretty light green (or something) eyes and dark tan skin. He was Mixed Raced with Mexican, Caucasian and I think Filipino. I love mixed race people. Every one in Hawaii is mixed race. I am mixed race myself. I am half Black Native, a quarter Jamaican and a quarter Chinese. Black Native is my term for Native Americans with a supposed “Black” phenotype/physical appearance. {Side note for Native Americans: We can’t let foreigners come over and tell us OUR History. Us Black Natives know who we are. Don’t let people tell you “Know your history.” By that, they must mean the LIE told to us in the foreigners’ school system.}
Anyway, back to the Baby Alpha. I was at my friend’s house after partying all night. I had so much fun that night. I went to clubs and danced my ass off. I am usually this nerdy girl who doesn’t know She Is Attractive. So I have practically never even seen the inside of a club. But that night I was dragged out. I found that all these Super Hot Men lacked the confidence to dance with me without the encouragement of my smile. I have Self Respect; something that doesn’t seem to exist anymore. I am very much aware of the Whore Culture that young people think they belong to. By the way, I am 26 years old. (Just yesterday a 20yr thought I was 16.) I noticed that women and men no longer know how interact with each other. Women throw themselves all over men. Men take advantage of women. This shows such an extreme amount of low self-esteem on the part of both the men and women. I am speaking about both men and women when I talk about the Whore Culture. So when men come across me, they don’t know what to do. They are so used to women throwing themselves onto them, that when I just smile at them prettily (or sexily depending on my mood) they don’t know what their role is. I have come across two responses: a) they act shy and do nothing, b) they try to touch a body part and then act insecure when I remove their hand. That night I learned that I was an Alpha Female. I have boundaries and let them be known. I was also the Most Attractive Woman out. I wasn’t wearing anything special and may not have had any makeup on. That’s what it is like being a Beautiful Swan. I know that all Beautiful Women are Beautiful. So I know that I am Beautiful. I also know that all beautiful women are insecure. That is what makes me the most Beautiful: My Confidence is Real. So from now on my Positive Self Talk includes this mantra “I am the most Beautiful Woman in my Radius (Area).”
Anyway, I still had lots of fun and did find a few guys to dance with. After arriving home I took a shower and entered the living room, wearing a Sarong (long sheet/cloth that I wrapped around my body). My friend had friends over. These were the same friends that had partied with us. When I entered the living room there was a new person in the house. The Baby Alpha. I am not going to go into all the details of the meeting. The most important part was that he kept approaching me. He kept trying. He didn’t shy away. His approach was subtle. I do not like aggressive idiots. He was nice, caring and sweet. I actually really liked this guy. He made me feel really Attractive, Intelligent and Exceptional. I am confident, as you all know, but it is soooooo nice when a guy makes you feel Special! He said that from the moment he saw me he could tell that I was “A Really Cool Girl.” Everything I said was “Dope” to him. He told me about his passion = Music. We actually spoke a lot even though it was late. I am mixed race but primarily identify as .... a dark skinned Black Woman? It is best to understand that confidence waivers Swans. I do not always feel confident. I loved that my Ethnic Appearance and Dark Skin color was not a deterrent for his affection. That’s my own insecurity (Turned into Symbol of my Beauty). We even discussed Race. He told me that in real life, race means so little. I actually really liked this guy. We would have started dating if I had not been ejected out of Hawaii to meet my Former Soulmate.
When it came to being physical - yes he tried. First in normal ways, such as putting his arm around me. This was acceptable. Holding my hand. This was acceptable. Me, being a woman, I didn’t attempt anything. So when he put his arm around me, I just laid my head on his shoulder. If he didn’t attempt anything else, nothing else was going to happen. Of course, being a guy, his hands began to roam. His hands ran down my legs and up my sides. This was when I gently removed his hands. This happened several times, and each time I gave gentle reminders of my physical boundaries. Mostly, what ended up happening is that he held me and gave me long hugs. Being a woman I knew he was trying to press my breasts against his chest, but they were just hugs so it was okay. He was actually a sincere, loving, caring and sensitive person. I could tell. The way he hugged me - I could tell that he would be a very romantic, sensual and incredibly loving person when being intimate. He has the characteristics that I like in a Mate. Sweet, sincere, caring and confident. My Mate must have these characteristics, in addition to being an Alpha Male.
The interaction was wonderful. The reason I called him an Alpha is because he had the confidence to keep approaching me. This is a Lost Art when women throw themselves all over men - men no longer know how to approach a non-whore. He is a Baby Alpha because he could have been more Confident.
So now I am looking for a New Soulmate. He must be an Alpha who is Sincere, Sensitive, Sweet, Caring, Intelligent, and CONFIDENT. Oh, and very Physically Attractive. IMPORTANT: Completely HETEROSEXUAL. Wealthy would be pretty nice too.
Pink has become my symbol that everything is going to be okay. I love pink. I love myself. I love.
Thanks for reading Swans! I know it’s been awhile.

Remember the story of The Ugly Duckling?
Many people misinterpret this story. Many think the story is about being ugly and magically becoming beautiful. Many try to apply this inappropriate logic to their lives. Hoping beyond hope, that they will one day transform into something better than they are. They miss the true point of this story. The most important part of this story is that the ugly duckling is not a duck. It is a swan that hatched from within a duck's nest. It wasn't ugly and then turned beautiful. It was always beautiful. It wasn't a duck who then turned into a swan. It was always a swan. It just needed to realize this. Once the little swan realized that it was literally a completely different bird, all its duck problems went away. It could be itself freely. It found that it wasn’t ugly after all. It was actually beautiful the whole time! The story is about finding who you really are.
That is the point of this Blog. It's to help you realize that you are already a Beautiful Swan. In order to do that, you must first understand that You Are Not A Duck!
