I should try it too. I think about this all the time. Waking up in the morning, looking in the mirror, and seeing someone wholly different staring back. These days I’d give anything to be the old me, the pre-accident me, who could sit at my old lunch table and chat about nothing. The pre-accident me who aspired to be more like Lauren Drucker, former benevolent ruler and social chair of Mapleview. I really wouldn’t mind being entirely full of shit, so long as I didn’t notice. “There’s this guy Trey who teaches me guitar,” David says. “He kind of pisses me off, actually, but he’s just the type of guy everyone likes. He always knows exactly what to say. Like has annoyingly pitch-perfect radio waves. So I guess him?” “I used to want my metaphorical radio waves to play music that was, like, quirky but also perfectly curated, you know? Something cool. But now I feel like I’ve become traffic on the hour.” “You are so not traffic on the hour,” he says, and to my dismay dabs at his chin with a napkin. “Though I wouldn’t mind even being that. Reliable, informative, albeit repetitive. At least people actually listen to it.” “I think your signal is in Morse code,” I say with a smile. “When I was eight, I taught myself Morse code. The clicks are highly irritating.” I lean over and for no reason I can think of—maybe because I have nothing smart to say, maybe because with David I feel like someone else entirely, I want to be someone else entirely—I take a lick of his ice cream. The vanilla part. He stares at my lips, as shocked as I am. “Sorry,” I say. “I liked your order better.” “The cold medicine is not for me. Just to be clear,” he says. “Wasn’t worried.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Julie Buxbaum" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/julie-buxbaum/if-you-could-be-anyone-else-who-would-you-want-to-be-i-ask-because-i/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/dc8/julie-buxbaum-3332_ice-cream_if-you-could-be-anyone-else-who-would-yo_804461.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/dc8/julie-buxbaum-3332_ice-cream_if-you-could-be-anyone-else-who-would-yo_804461.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/dc8/julie-buxbaum-3332_ice-cream_if-you-could-be-anyone-else-who-would-yo_804461.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“If you could be anyone else, who would you want to be?” I ask, because I’ve decided that I admire how David…” — Julie Buxbaum", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/david-says/julie-buxbaum/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/david-says/julie-buxbaum/", "name": "David Says Quotes by Julie Buxbaum", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/david-says/julie-buxbaum/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/36f/julie-buxbaum-3332_david_i-think-david-was-the-one-who-kicked-ass_159348.jpg" }, "description": "2 David Says quotes by Julie Buxbaum.
