If I had the chance to be someone else for a day, I’d still pick myself. Sounds boring? Hear me outit’s simpler than you think.
Imagine I swapped lives with a billionaire. Sure, I’d be swimming in luxury, tasting riches beyond my wildest dreams. But one day of that would ruin me. I’d come back to my regular life spoiled, craving caviar and private jets, miserable with my modest reality. Not worth it.
Or what if I became a politiciansay, a king or presidentfor 24 hours? Power’s tempting, but knowing me, I’d probably lob a nuclear bomb at an annoying neighbor before lunch. Fun in theory, disastrous in practice. Pass.
A famous movie star? Glamorous, yesuntil I’m drowning in their whirlwind of scandals, juggling multiple partners, and dodging tabloid diseases. I’d be a wreck by dinner, begging for my quiet couch and Netflix.
So, yeah, I’d stick with mebut a better me. Picture this: a peaceful, patient, unshakably confident version of myself. The kind of me who glides through chaos with a smirk, not a meltdown. Then, when the clock ticks back to realityback to my usual agitated, impatient, slightly neurotic selfI’d carry a little of that “super-me†glow with me. A reminder to keep working on myself, one small step at a time.
