Being someone else


I would love to walk in Carine Roitfeld's shoes.

Because consciousness is a terrible curse. 
I think, I feel, I suffer. - Craig Schwartz ( Being John Malkovich ) 


Being conscious means being aware of what is going on around you but im pretty sure that's nothing much going on around me at the time; when life turns into routine, people just become robots, wake up each morning just to continue things that have been done yesterday until the batteries run out.

So often, i'll have this strange urge that I want to be somebody elses; the socialite, the coffee shop owner, a man, an althlete ............... but me. You may say that I'm not grateful for having a comfort life or not true to myself, in fact the whole escapism thing is very - me.

Like Craig, i feel trapped in my current situation. I wish there is a magic secret door where i can fulfill my escapist dream, yes, just like in the movie although i wish it can be longer than 15 minutes, a day is enough !

Alas, life is no magic unless i suffer any of the psychology diseases or getting high on some pills.......

Humans on the earth & me, try to appreciate more and whine less, perhaps that's when the miracle happened!!!

P/S : Who would you like to be for a day?
