This is a hard question, then it might seem, at least for me.

Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?

As you may have notice with these writing prompts, I might not always answer them the way they’re intended to be answered. But maybe that’s the point of the prompts.

So in order to answer this question, how I want to, I have to answer it to different ways. Reflecting my life, I suppose. The way I would answer it on instinct. And the way, I answer it as a disabled person. This might seem odd given the type of question being asked, but I think it’s just hardwired into my understanding of the world. And given the fact I’m disabled I think that’s fair.

My instinct is to go with an elephant. They’re clever like to watch the world go by. They seem to revel in the joys of an easy life, and sometimes that’s all I want.

Taking my disability into consideration I think I would be a good dog. Dogs are calm and loyal and they understand the needs of the people around them, believe me a say this from experience of my own doggies. I think these are qualities that my disability has taught me.

I would like to be a dog most of all I think. The calm relaxed lifestyle, the love, to never get bored of your food. All of it just seems better than being a human.
