If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?
Daily Prompt
I would like to be a person who wouldn’t have many hangups. Someone different from me. Right now, I need an exoskeleton (now, Sunset) to make me move forward in life. I would be someone who is confident about their skills. People with their own businesses seem confident in what they do. Being in their shoes for at least one day would be nice. They have problems too, but at least they are not forced to apply for jobs.
I have a hard time making decisions. I wish I could make one and stick to it. But there is always something in the way, so I don’t get things done. I want to be that person who isn’t uncertain and is not worried about taking risks. The sunset hasn’t set yet. I can still be the person I wish to be for a day. It only takes longer for me to do it.
Things that bore me the most is politics. I was never interested in it as a teenager, and I still don’t care. It spoils a lot of things. It even happens in sports. Other things that bore me are the same athlete and country winning, so others don’t get a chance. It happens a lot in men’s cross-country skiing and Formula One. It takes out all the fun watching the sport.
I’m not a risque person. I’m more of a bore. But at least I know how to be bored. Certain people can’t manage that. They always need something to do. That can be stressful if you can’t be bored sometimes. There must be someone who can be bored because we can’t all be exciting people. At least I go somewhere from time to time. Some people only stay at home and don’t do anything special in their life. I could never live like that. I can be bored, but I need to do something that fills my life. It might not be anything risque, but it keeps me alive.
What you see is what you get, doesn’t really apply to me. I have a filter that protects me from prying eyes. It’s not that I want to hide the real me from others but I’m an introvert and we’re careful. I’ve also learned to be careful from past experiences. At home I can be myself but in public, I’m reserved. I have thoughts some might not understand. My life is not an open book and I want to keep it private. If I open up to a person, it’s someone I trust. The only one who knows the real me, is myself. Not even my parents knew. They only knew what I was when I was younger. I’ve never told them I write this blog for example. Some things you just want to keep to yourself. You need to do it. If I told everyone everything about myself, the mystery would be lost. That’s what life should be about. If you know everything about a person then there’s no surprises. What kind of life would it be?
People post about what they do on social media. Some keep updating things they’re doing at that moment. Who they talk to and where they are. I find that boring. I don’t care what you ate, if you took a shower, baked a cake or went to a birthday party. I don’t care about what your friends are doing or who they got engaged to. That’s what I keep seeing on Facebook. On Twitter I have ‘only’ 6125 tweets in 7 years I’ve been there. I don’t tweet nonsense. From time to time I do post things I do but that’s not regularly like most people do. I’m not trying to make a world record of tweets. When I have something important to say, I tweet it. I also hate selfies. Every time someone post one, I totally ignore it. Especially celebrities. Like they weren’t enough in the public eye already. If I want to see photos of them, I look for real photos taken by pros. Since camera phones were invented people think they’re all photographers.
Everyone seems to want to be like everybody else. I don’t want to be like everyone. I have a natural filter and know what to tell about myself online. If you read my about page, you know why I don’t post private things. Everybody seems to write about that. I dare to be different. Even though I have Instagram, I don’t post there much. To be honest, I find it a bit boring. It’s just isn’t my thing. I was excited at first when I could finally join last year but now I’m not that much. I follow 14 different one’s and that’s fine. For example I follow @cutepetclub because there’s so many cuties in it. Pets that is. I like looking at other people’s posts but when it comes to posting myself, I’m not that keen anymore. Sometimes I just scroll without looking because let’s face it, what people post there is boring.
I don’t have the urge to get people’s attention and that’s the same in real life. One on one conversations is good enough for me. I get really uncomfortable if someone looks at me. I wouldn’t make Youtube videos because I feel uneasy in front of a camera. It was different when I was a kid. I was cute then. I leave those things to others. I don’t go after things because they’re popular. I’m not the victim of commercials. It’s easy to judge someone by the first impression but I’m more than what people see when they meet me. People give up too easily when they do. That’s one of the reasons I find it hard to meet new people. It’s really their loss and not mine. I’m proud of who I am and if I were someone else, I would be my friend. I always say I’m my own best friend because who knows me best than myself.
