(no subject)
Sometimes I really wish I could be an actress. I like to imagine being someone else for a while, having a different personality, different skills and talents, being in different situations. Basically having a different life for a while. It's not that I don't like myself, I just sometimes think other lives are more interesting. It's the same reason I like to read books and watch TV and movies. It's a chance to get inside someone else's head for a change. I like speculating on what makes a person act a certain way, and how and why this person reacts to a certain situation with a particular behavior. If only I actually had the skills to be an actress. Maybe I should be a writer instead. That way, I'm in everyone's head and I don't actually have to BE the person. But there again, if only I had all the necessary skills to be a writer. I guess I'm stuck with just myself, then.
I suppose the question then becomes: do I like this self that I'm stuck with? Easier asked than answered, I guess.
