I remember in high school i read this love story and ever since then i always wanted to be like the leading man in the story,you know the hero,the one that when you enter the room all your girl's female friends look up and go running to tell your girl out loud "robbie is here or steve or jake is here"!i remember a girl in my grade 9 class named Heather St.John what a nice name and her face was beautiful like ally mcgraw in "LOVE STORY" or "catherine zeta jones" type face ,she had long hair down to her bum,slim about 110 lbs ,5'5",and just beautiful,but she had a boyfriend who she was in love with,not that i had a shot anyway but i remembered how she use to wait for him at his locker every break and after school and when he showed up she would put her mouth up because he was a little taller than her,to receive her kiss,i would go home and imagine it was me receiving tht kiss,so i wished to one day be like him with some girl who would wait every chance she got to kiss me the way heather waited for brad,now my question is have you ever found yourself wishing you were like someone else like i did?back in the 70's

I sometimes wish I was the super mum that supposedly exists in every woman. Having 5 little ones means I don't have a lot of energy to do anything much, so the housework gets a little neglected (not the washing though, got a brand new machine
).
In all honesty, we shouldn't be wanting to be someone else, because there are probably 100 people who are wishing they were us.
When I was younger (much younger!), I always wanted to be a CareBear because they got to go on some really cool adventures and help everyone who needed it. I wanted to be Birthday Bear so that I could make everyday everyone's birthday! lol Imagine all the cake.

i think everybody is missing my point here,i don't mean wishful thinking i mean like when you go to a movie,and in my case i wanted to be like tom cruise in "jerry maguire" the way zellwiger looked at him and said "you had me at hello"or when in "when harry met sally" when meg ryan realzed that she was in love with harry at the end of the movie!well heather and brad were those guys for me in 1976 when i was 15 yrs old,and i think now i am a lot like those guys with my wife,in fact my girl and i often laugh at how corny we can get like those larger than life characters on the big screen but in the end i finally found someone who can appreaciate my corny mushy lines and do her own version of "you had me at hello"and i also found out that in reality Brad lost Heather to another dude and is now married with children ,i don't know if Heather had any children and i also know her ex whom she split with after BRAD so in this life, nothing is ever perfect or stays the same!the reality is we all have the same chances with a miss AMERICA OR ANY BEAUTIFUL WOMAN ON THIS PLANET!the odds are the same! this is something i think where both males and females weaknesses tend to be!

hi bond.
i think its just natural to think you were someone else. but of course at the end of the day you should realize that you are YOU. and you are unique and beautiful in your own way.
as for me, when I was younger i use to think of that also. but usually the idea, will be a person from a book or a popular artist or something similar. but still its just like day dreaming.
take care!

Sorry, my answer would be no. I think that wishing to be anyone other than what God created you to be is a destiny deferred. It is also a form of emulation. It lessens your own self-worth, because you will always be trying to measure up to some mold that you were not cut from. OK, I wished I was a princess and that my prince would come someday. I'm still trying to kiss that same frog who refuses to be a prince at this time, not to say that he really isn't one in disguise. Dreaming and pretending are fine, but some people have lost their own God-given identities and that is very sad. Be happy finding your own place in the world and make your own star shoot for the moon. You do have one you know, so wake up and shine, shine, shine! Thanks. Blessings...

why do people have to bring god into everything?and what is your god given identity?to be like the pope?or a nun?so you don't aspire to be anybody?president?rock star?wishing to a princess is so far removed from what created you to be its not funny!not to mention it could also mean you are not mentally in this reality check yourself!
