“I’m a star!”

From a young age you knew you were destined for fame.

“I’m a star!”

But your dreams seemed so far away… You were just a farm girl and your parents didn’t support your dream.

Despite this, on your 19th birthday you saved enough money to finance your relocation to the city!

“I’m a star!”

At first, you were optimistic about the future! The city was so different from your small farm! There was so much to do! So much to learn! You immediately secured yourself a small apartment and began to attend various auditions around the city.

“I’m a star!”

The more auditions you seemed to go to… the less you seemed to pass… but you didn’t let that discourage you! Competition is tough! If you keep working hard you’ll make it eventually right…?

“I’m a star.”

You were trying your hardest… you really were… so why were you incapable of securing a decent role in a project?? What are you missing? What are you doing wrong…? Your money was starting to run out too…

“I’m a star... I have to be.”

You were getting desperate. At this rate you’d have to move back to the country… you couldn’t let that happen… you wouldn’t… you couldn’t just throw away all that you worked for up to this point… you’d do anything…

“Will you make me a star…?”

In an attempt to hover the cost to stay within the city, you employed yourself as a house maid, working at a wealthy couples house long term. You promised yourself that you would only be doing this for a short period of time… until you could find your footing in the city.

“Is this how I become a star?”

Months have gone by and you still find yourself living paycheck to paycheck. It’s really discouraging… but at least the housework isn’t hard… The man who hired you never seems to be home, his wife usually keeps to herself. They don’t seem very close… You find yourself wanting to approach her, but you feel inferior.

“It has to get better somehow…”

It was another day of work.
