I wish there was a mechanism to swap lives with people. Over and over. On demand, whenever I'd like. For six-month long stints. Or perhaps for a year at a time. I wish lives were transferable.
I'm stuck in the life I've lived for the past 25 years. Decisions have been made, paths have been chosen, a ton has been invested in making me what I am. There must be plenty of people that would want to be where I am. I wish one of them could just take over my life.
She'd look like me, speak like me, act like me, would know everything I do, and for all practical purposes --- would be able to replace me. In my job, in my family, amongst my friends.
No one would know I wasn't there.
But I'd be gone. On a break. Living the other lives I'd thought I'd never have the chance to experience.
