Well yes, if I keep my own personality traits, or if I was born without it. But also no, because I lived with it my whole life, it's hard to see myself just being able to live, without it..
I said yes, but really my answer is I would like to be able to turn it off at times. Most of the time I really believe it is my superpower. But since I don’t know what not having it would be like, I would like to experience that - even if only to explain it better to other people. And at 2am when I really need to sleep it would be awesome to be able to turn it off for a while. 😁
Along with the challenges comes a lightning fast brain, creativity, great intuition and the ability to think outside the box. I want to get better at managing this beast, but I don’t want to trade it 😎
