Without a doubt a 1970s rockstar
A spoiled rich kid. I want to have a life I'll never know in this one, a life without real worry and to actually own a home. A life of stability and unlimited possibilities with all the time in the world to train for whatever I would want to do/become.
This life, living in someone else's garage while still spending 1/2 of my income on rent and no hope for future advancement and knowing that the only financial stability possible would require marriage/a second income, and that it just isn't in the cards is not a fun life.
I understand what you're saying. I've been thinking of alternative timelines and all of the good ones involve being rich. I would do anything to live in a big fancy mansion with my boyfriend in somewhere warm and have so much money I could just go to any shop I want and buy whatever without thinking of the price. Every way you look at it being rich is ideal. This is why I would love to be a 1970s rockstar. Steady and huge flow of income, adoring fans, fame, endless opportunities, sexy groupies and all the drugs and alcohol you could want but I am stuck in my stupid, miserable life.
A migratory goose, so I could fly around to other countries! I love swimming too, so being an aquatic bird is a plus!
What about a seabird? Albatross would probably be the pick for travel, gannet for extensive swimming.
Definitely a fungus that grows huge under the earth and spouts a few fruiting bodies every one in a while.
Just leave me alone and unbothered to grow and eat, maybe with a few other fungi in the area so I can exchange signals with them.
A human, several hundred years in the future when Communism has won out.
One of those hotsprings monkeys in Japan. They seem like they've got a good thing going.
Animal-wise, something simple with slow lifestyle. Man, I just want to chill and be left alone. Maybe a swimming sea cucumber, because echinoderms are cool and wide-open expanses of deep sea are cool.
There may or may not be some kind of human equivalent, depending on the rules of how souls work in this hypothetical.
Someone from an advanced spacefaring civilization
You know those stories about people who insist they remember their past life? But there's no way to confirm it? I'd like my memories passed down like that.
Well, I want to say "vampire angel from space with a super cool robot gun arm" but the better answer is probably just, like, "immortal shapeshifter"
