On top & admired for once.

Here's a serious question. If you could be any animal, what would you chose to be and why? Now I want you to really think about it, thoroughly. Don't just chose any animal because they look cool or they can fly. Why would you want to look like that? Why do you want to fly, because you want to escape? Think as if there were no humans around. No one had a master or anyone to impress. There is no hierarchy of love in this situation. Just think about the attributes of that animal. Take your life now into consideration.
Often times we think of an animal that is opposite of what we are. We often chose large animals to fill in the gap of fierceness that we lack in our lives now. Some may chose smaller, faster animals to fill the idea of wanting to escape and be on their own.
Me, I'd chose a female Tiger. They're my favorite animals. I'd chose a female tiger for many reasons though. To me, they're the most beautiful animal out there. They're strong, elegant and independent. They can take care of others but they do not need anyone to take care of them. Like the lion, the tiger is king of the hill, jungle, whatever. They are fierce and all the other animals around are afraid of them. I don't want to be feared, but I'd like to be looked up to.
Every woman you will come across wants to be fierce and sexy. We want to be successful and independent. Beautiful, lean, strong, and elegant. Many of us are, but every woman wants to be strong, both mentally and physically. We want to be able to rely on ourselves. Tigers don't seem to worry about love like humans do. Many animals don't. They reproduce, that's what they do. As humans we set ourselves up for disaster when it comes to love. We put ourselves on the line and in the end when we end up heartbroken, we try to become that tiger. We try to become that strong, independent creature. We try to take on our alter ego.
When talking to a good friend he answered a Lion. Like a tiger, the lion is on top. They rule all. He would chose to be a lion to replace the status he has in life now. To take on a role that he's not used to. THIS GUY (inside joke) would be "the guy." He'd be the "king of the fuckin' jungle," and instead of looking up to others, he'd be looked up to. He'd be a fierce hunter and not to mention he'd look awesome.
My mom said that she'd chose a bird, which was my second choice. When we hear the word "bird," the first idea that comes to mind is flying. Flying has always been a super power that our childhood heroes have taken on. Everyone has wanted to fly. It's an escape. It's something we can't do, which is why we look up to it so much. Birds can just take off. Without a care in the world. They wake up, eat a worm, and disappear to another part of the country. They don't seem to have problems. They aren't concerned with relationships because they can just get up and leave (not that many people don't do that already). Worried about getting fired from a job? Of course not because they can just go, free as the wind blows.
It doesn't seem like there's advice in all of this, but there really is. Try to take on an aspect of your chosen animal. I can guarantee that you've chosen an animal that is unlike yourself. Step out of your shell for a day and become that fierce lion or tiger, or just get away and forget it all when something bad happens, be as optimistic as a dolphin or as quiet as a sloth. Just be what you want. I don't care if it's for one day, or even an hour. Just do it. Become your alter ego, because we should all envy ourselves a little. Confidence is not only sexy, but it's admired. So do something that will make you look up to yourself instead of someone else for a while.
