If You Could Have Been...

[MisterB]

Thirty years ago I heard a song from a defunct Broadway show performed at The Kennedy Center by Lynn Thigpen.

First line is "If I could've been what I could've been, I could've been something".

Here's my question to you folks: What could/would you have been?

I would have been a Broadway gypsy.

[mikey3000]

I couldda been a contender. I couldda been a somebody.

[CupidBoy]

A pop star.

[johaninsc]

an archaeologist...

[Harke the Boeotarch]

I am something already.

[G-Lexington]

I could've been so beautiful, I could've been so right. But you can't hold what could've been on a cold and lonely night.

I could've been so beautiful, I could've been so right. But you can't hold what could've been on a cold and lonely night.

Lex

Nice! So true too.

Another line from the song is "If I could've gone where I could've gone, I could've gone places".

Where would that be folks?

[TheFallenAsexual]

Beautiful. Brave. Undamaged.

And if I could go anywhere? Probably to a Brooklyn Dodgers game.

[PreTTy PeTe]

I could have been braver when I was younger.

but fear of the unknown kept me from achieving my true potential.

so here I am and still looking for my destiny.

[reone]

Could've been the one? Maybe.

I feel like life is still very much open-ended for me, though. If you're alive then there's still time to work with.

If I could have been, I would have been a singer. Sadly, I have the voice of an asthmatic owl.

It's a song. in actuality, I could've been a teacher, a businessman, an accountant, a therapist, a motivational speaker, a slut. I enjoy thinking about what it would've been like to be one of these from time to time, but I don't regret not being any of them.

I think there is a lot of things I can be, but you can't do everything.
