I’d be a pale, blue-eyed, blonde-haired, tall, thin, stupid, religious, financially-rich, man, who is not married, still somehow (surprising given other circumstances) an extremely social lush, has no cats, abhors candy corn, does not Fluther or use the internet at all, hates science and art, is antagonistic, has countless friends. My parents would be dead, I would have an older sister. I’d be depressed and deadly serious all the time. Focused on being a cog in the system. Insensitive and blind to others. illiterate. diseased.
I would miss everything, but I would miss my husband most. :( Then again, without my current understanding and context, would I?
This is such a great exercise. It makes me feel really fortunate for what I do have. It’s also scary how closely the mirror me matches some of the people I simply cannot stand.
