If I could be someone else for the day?



Daily writing prompt
If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?

I don’t know, because I have spent so long searching for myself and who I am suppose to be in this ecosystem, that, given the amount of energy poured into that, I think I’d want to try to play the role of myself for a while?

Maybe in another life time and in a different time span, there might be a chance that I would encounter someone interesting and wish to be them for a day.

But the truth is –

If you look a little closer, you will realise that everybody is in the same boat with similar bouts of anxiety and what not. It wouldn’t increase my chances of a different experience. Though, this next sentence may contradict the previous paragraph, but I would want to be in a body of someone who had nothing but hardship since young and made something good of themselves (despite the adversity).

I want to know what strengths it would take for you to muster up all that courage? Because, from an imaginative view point, that does not look like a fun ride.

To summarise all that I have said: If I had to be in somebody else’s shoe for a day, I want to be in a body of a survivor of life. A real life hero who makes life work for them.
