I`d like to be filthy rich as Bill Gates/Roman Abramovich/Silivio Berlusconi just to name few.

Stormymystic · 05-19-2004, 07:43 PM

sure I do, mostly someone rich and famous, anyway, welcome back [img]smile.gif[/img]

Of course, why do you think I play RPGs? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

It is a very natural wish/reaction to the every day drudgery and suffering that is revealed and perceived in the world in our everyday lives. For me, its like that gentle childhood yearning for something more...

Yet it should ideally remain an idle wish or longing for our own health and wellbeing.
For we all must come to terms with the selves and who we are one day. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Interesting to hear if others relate this to roleplaying or not. I guess it depends on how much meaning it has in one's life or whether its just recreation and fun. [img]smile.gif[/img]

You are not the only who wants to be someone else Spirits Forever.
I have wanted to be someone else millions of times. Usually because they look like they have a better life then my own life.
But just be careful, sometimes wanting someone elses life can be signs of depression...believe me, I know.

Epona · 05-30-2004, 09:59 AM

Nope, I like myself and I love life.

I'm broke, but apart from that everything is good - I'm in fairly good health, I have a lot of fun, I have a roof over my head, food in my stomach, a fridge full of beer, lots of good friends, a doting parrot, and I am living with the man I love. What more could I want out of life? (Apart from a bit of money to pay the bills of course [img]smile.gif[/img] )

Glad to hear you're doing better these days, Spirits Forever.

I can't say I've ever wished I was anyone else though, I'm happy with life. I'm very lucky, in numerous areas, and while I have problems and worries sometimes, it's important to realize that there isn't a single person on earth who doesn't have them too. I find life's hurdles educational and empowering too though, so it's not like I even hate setbacks per se. When things are rough, I know better times are always right round the corner, and focusing on that and my own blessings in life help to keep me going.

If I owned a soapbox, I'd now be stepping off it.

No. I love my life... but then... I cannot help but think what other people are thinking... of ME.

I mean I don't want to be someone else... but heck i would sure love to know what people think of me... because I don't want people to get hurt because of me... or be annoyed, irritated or what-have-you...

I wish i was Cyan from Final Fantasy 3 the greatest game ever, now how cool would that be.

I also think this is why RPG's are so popular, you're living another life in another land where your problems are differnt and fun.

How surreal.

Nope, never wished to be someone else. Have sometimes wished I didn't exist, but being someone else would just be worse since looking at me from an outside perspective, I guess I'm pretty lucky. Despite that, like I said, I often wish I didn't exist. Anyway, that's an interesting point there Bahamut, I often wonder what people think about me too. I think they think I'm a confident, relatively popular, and relatively clever guy, but I feel the exact opposite inside much of the time. Oh well...

uss · 06-01-2004, 03:08 AM

Nope, I like my life very much. I'm still striving towards Japan in every way possible, because it's quite different from what the people around me want to do, and because I love it. [img]smile.gif[/img]
