What if I...

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?

What if that one Greatest Showman song  I love so much is right?

If we could rewrite the stars.

What if it's too early to start thinking about this stuff?

What if I have no idea what I'm actually gonna do someday?

What if I just enjoy hoping and daydreaming that I will be all that someday?

If only I knew.

    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.
