for a day

glancing thru the OD homepage the theme of the week caught my eye.  and it made me wonder.. if i could.. if i truely could change places with anyone for 1 day.. would i? and who would i chose?

it brings to mind the saying… ‘be yourself, no one else is qualified’ so why would i think i could be someone else  even for one day?

i wouldnt and couldnt

i am me and no one else,  not for 1second not for a minute or even a day or a year.

this is my life such as it is, ive earned every scratch dent bruise and bloody nose. i couldnt step into someone elses life and presume to be them any more then they could step into my life.

so the answer… no i wouldnt and couldnt

my life is my life.

wanting to step into someone elses life for even a minute is a betrayal to myself and everything ive learned along my own path.

so my road leads this way and ill follow it and perhaps our paths will cross but never for a single moment will they converge and be the same
