Living
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!

  1. We all have our own beat, but as human beings sharing this world. as bothers and sisters learning and growing, we all move to the same drum. where we as a species will continue to be different and unique and strive for greatness.
