Entry #2 - Loving Myself. The good, the bad and the ugly.

Written By Crystal Charlotte

Who am I? That's a good question. My name is Crystal Charlotte Lynch. I'm short 5'2 to be exact.I'm loud, and mean, sometimes everything in between. I get happy and feel joyful. I get depressed and wallow in sorrow. I cry tears of joy and pain. I'm just me, Crystal Charlotte Lynch. I aim to be an amazing writer and filmmaker. To leave my mark on this world. This has always been a feeling that troubles me. To feel small in this world. Like my existence has no meaning. A questions I've struggled with that is at the very root of my soul, Why did God create me? Why am I on this earth? What is my purpose? I'm sure everyone asks themselves the same question. However this question haunts me. How I wish I could find the answer. all I can do is continue on my journey as I strive to make a name for myself. Make my presence felt. I will aim for the top as I strive for greatness. I will continue loving myself the good the bad and the ugly.

Article # 1 – Different Beat, Same Drum

Written By: Crystal Charlotte

          What is life? How do you live it? Two fundamental questions we all ask ourselves. Since I was young I was always considered to be a little different. I watched too much television and way too many movies. I would write countless poems and endless stories. I didn’t like dresses or shiny things. I didn’t care about the newest fashions or stylish trends.

          I liked my hair natural, nappy and in a ponytail. I liked wearing baggy clothes and playing outside getting dirty. How enjoyable it was to rough house with the boys, with no worries about getting hurt or playing it safe. To be one with nature, and watch as new life takes form and grow, to be so still you can almost feel this earth move.

          I have a different beat. I grow, I laugh, I cry, I smile, I hurt, I try, I’m trying to enjoy life as much as I can. Is it possible for you to do the same? We all have a different beat, but we continue to move to the same drum. We move and we learn and we exist in this thing called life.

 DIFFERENT BEAT, SAME DRUM!

ARTS

Writing From My Soul

Written By: Crystal Charlotte

I believe my art comes from my soul. When I’m writing I want to tell stories that are real. When I say real I mean all the grime and grit. All the love and pain and hate and sorrow. I want the audience to feel for my characters. Be inspired and take something away from what I’ve given them. Pieces of my soul exist in everything I write. It’s like a window into my existence. Sometimes you can see my humor, my pride, my hurt, or even my short comings.

I’ve practically been writing all my life, since my preteen years. It’s something I love doing; the purpose behind me being on this earth. When I’m writing it’s like nothing else matters. Any problems in my day to day life are place in the back of my mind and I can just exist in the moment of thought. I’ve often found myself asking why on earth I was created.

You may find it laughable or unbelievable but I don’t consider myself to be all that much different from everyone else. Believe it or not, in all actuality I consider myself average, but it’s my writing that sets me apart. It’s the fire that burns inside me. The one thing I know I’m good at and when someone gives me praise on something I’ve written, the feeling is indescribable. I can hardly contain myself or keep the smile from reaching the corners of my mouth.

The since of pride and accomplishment I feel can only be described as boundless or endless. I feel so completely content in my choice to pursue my writing and see where it has to take me. Whether I go far or only a little ahead, my writing is something I know I can always count on. Whether I’m writing screenplays or fantasy/adventure fiction I know I can’t go wrong. My writing comes from my soul and I’m sure if you met me in person you would agree. So long as my passion for my art continues to burn so brightly and I have the will to I shall continue on my journey.

I’ve heard that for starving artist that their art whether it be music or dancing or painting or writing, your art will feed your soul if you let it. I can believe that, because if you put everything into your art than your art is all that you need.  I’m a writer, that’s what I was born to do. It’s my passion, my inner grace the very thing that completes me. I write from my soul and that’s what makes writing enjoyable to me.
