I have recently replaced my old and cheap green lightsabre with a more extensive and remarkable version.
Advertised as the 'Ultimate Lightsabre' it is fully adjustable, blade colour and all. As a result I have had a world of fun playing about with colours and styles which suit me. After much and constant deliberation, I have settled (at least for now) on a comparatively lightweight style of hilt (perhaps a subconscious homage to fencing) and either a white or green colour blade.
But there are more metaphors hidden under my choices than meets the eye. If i look at it from the correct perspective, it is a case of me aspiring to be something resembling a figure of good intentions and somewhat of a force of light. I do try to be a good person (but am still wondering quite what that means) and make every effort to lay aside emotions and clouded judgments, but they will inevitably find me eventually, like the white colour of my blade is only so because one third of it is red, the commonly Sith (and evil) colour. Is one third of me thus a darker part of my personality, countered by the other two?
Now I've asked more questions than I've answered, and so shall endeavour to come up with suitable responses.

What strikes me as odd is not the fact that you replaced your lightsaber, but the fact that you had one in the first place.
Is it really so hard to believe?
Actually, probably not!
I am sure that you will find your true colour eventually; most of us are a blend of different hues of red and green, which can end up as a queasy brown......
