If I could be anyone for a day I’d be my dog.

If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?

A picture of myself stroking my Cavilier King Charles Dog, Bella. I’m wearing a blue top with a small amount of design on it. And the background to this photo is a pride flag and an Asexual Flag.

My initial response to this question was that I would be an able or some description. So that I could gain understanding of what it was really like to be an able. But in reality, I don’t know if finding this out would actually benefit me.

Either I would have a good day being an able which would undoubtedly make the rest of my life difficult. As I would know the alternative life I could leave. And I would never be able to have again. Or I would have a bad day which would mean given the way I feel I would struggle to see my own difficulties and inaccessibilities in life as valid and worth fighting for. This would not be easy either.

So I don’t think I’d actually benefit from being anyone other than me. Maybe someone with a different disability is an option.

Or maybe I’d just rather be my dog.
