Dear Canada,
You do not belong to us.
You never have.
And I really, really hope you never will.
You are your own country, but I know I don’t have to tell you that.
You already know it.
On behalf of many, many Americans (ugh, do I really even want to be an American?)
We’re sorry this has happened.
This makes up for nothing that has been said, done, and proposed,
But we wish this had never happened.

It's 9 o'clock on a Saturday- 9:00 AM, that is, when Mom made lemonade for the annual summer party at our house. Fresh-squeezed lemonade. It is sitting in a cooler on the small table in the tiny house in our backyard.
It's quiet. Just the rumbling of the car. My friend is asleep next to me, their head on my shoulder. I open the windows. The breeze is nice and cool and rustles my hair. As soon as the window is open, it reveals the sound of crickets.
What if
I could be a real actor
What if
It doesn't matter if my name sounds like a big-movie-star name?
What if I'm delusional?
What if I don't really care?

Thank you so much!!!
As a Canadian from Quebec....Thank you Abigail. We know that a lot of Americans are not in agreement with your country's leaders and we appreciate the support. Don't feel sorry, it's not your fault. The only people we blame are the US leaders who are spearheading this movement of hatred and division. Keep up the great work :)
Thank you :)
