someone else

do you ever wish that you are someone else? do you ever wonder how is it like to be someone else? well, i do. as i walk down the street, i wonder what is that person thinking, what is her story, how's her life's like, and i wish for a second that i can be her for a day.

i am always curious. curious about many things. perhaps, some things that i shouldn't be even thinking about. maybe, this is why i am eccentric or you can say odd.

i wish that i have the power. THE power that allows me to be someone else for a day or two. i will like to try living a lot of people's life. i also wish that i am able to experience life of a different time. not now, but a century ago, or a decade ago, perhaps even longer.

i wish to know how different others think. i wish to know what they feel and how they behave or react. i wish to know whether the colors that i see now, the color that i call red, is the same as the color called red for another person. i wish to look through their eyes, to experience life differently, from what i am currently experiencing. i wish to know what makes them tick, what makes them happy and how emotions feel like, when i am them..

is it the same, i wonder? is it different for each of us?

i want to feel how a different body feels, i want to know how it feels to have different blood flowing in my veins.

but surprisingly, each time i wonder, how it feels to be that person, it will always be a she. never in my mind, did i ever wish to try how it feels to be a he.

i wonder how it will be to have a different background, to come from a different financial state, to look different and have a different group of friends. i wonder and i wonder.

if i ever get the chance, i wonder too, whether i will learn a lot from it, and whether i will wish that i never get the chance to try.

being me, is weird.

Yes, i too sometimes wonder what it feels like being somebody else. For example how would i feel if i were in my boss's shoes. Will i get all tripped up by the power in my hands, will i be like her or will i be different? Questions and questions...
