For years as I viewed life passing me by and I envied the possessions, the skills, the physical appearance, the mental capacities of others. Of course the podium I was sitting on for this view was on top of a bottle of Vodka and with the advent of another opportunity to live free that excuse no longer serves.

So who do I want to be? I would rather be me. No longer do I pine to be someone else, with other abilities. I prefer to be me. I look forward to the endless possibilities that will unfold for me in this new life.

I would rather be me.
