Be yourself….or not.

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

Well, I have a question before I answer this question. Two questions, actually. 1 – Do I retain my experiences and sense of self? And 2 – does it have to be present day?

I will assume that the answer to number 1 is yes. My answer would vary depending on the answer to number 2.

If #2 is yes…. This is a hard one. Do i choose someone that I am curious about? Or do I choose someone who I may be able to make a meaningful impact for/acting as? I don’t know that I would be someone else for a day given this criteria. I would need to think on this a bit more to answer.

If #2 is no, then I would be myself at a younger age and attempt to do things that would cause or even force certain behavior changes in her life. And yes, I realize the paradox that this could/would create, but I don’t care. I would do it just to give her a chance at something different; a chance to know what it is to value yourself. And if the fabric of space time unravels because of it? At least I tried.
