WEEK 13 Creative Act

Crystal: I don’t even think you realize the damage that you’ve done to me! You left me to raise your kids while you went out to finish living the rest of your life. 

Andrea: I did everything I could for you and those kids. Your daddy left me, ALONE! and I gave ya’ll everything I had left of me. (slams hand on the table)

Crystal: Ma, maybe it’s time for you to realize that it wasn’t enough. You cannot tell me that leaving me to raise two kids while I was still in high school was okay. Ma, I am hurting! The drugs took you away from us, you were never here!

Andrea: Crystal, I had to live my life too. I am sorry that I ruined your life. I am sorry that I was not good to you. I tried the best way I knew how. 

Crystal: I pray that I am twice the mother you were to me to my unborn child. 

Andrea: Unborn child? Cr- Crystal are you pregnant? 

Crystal: Yes, 3 months. That’s actually why I stopped by. I came to pick up the twins and the rest of their stuff. I’m taking them with me and we’re moving to Georgia. 

Andrea: You can’t take my kids and my grand baby away from me! The belong TO ME!

Crystal: They are not objects, you have been treating them like objects since dad left and you know damn well you ain’t fit to raise no kids without me around. I am what’s best for them. I raised them and I’ll be damned if I let you put them through what you put me through. 

Andrea: So you just gonna take away the only thing I have to live for? the only people I got? 

Crystal: Ma, you stopped living a long time ago. (Walks out the door and slowly closes it behind her)

AND SCENE!

For my Final Creative Project, I decided to create a short video about the importance of not only finding ourselves but acknowledging ourselves for everything that we are outside of physical traits. I honestly came up with this idea after going through so many different drafts and ideas on what my project should be about. Nothing was really clicking for me. In the midst of trying to make that decision, I found myself almost losing myself because of other factors in my life. 

This was not only a creative final project for me but an affirmation as well.

Creative Act Week 12

I used to love writing poems or at least I thought I did. It allowed me to remember things and play them over and over again in my head. I am indebted to poetry, I would even say it saved my life. Because when things got hard, my first instinct was to pick up a pen and write. See, poetry is my idea of creativity, writing words on a page in a way that flows really gets me. Or maybe it's the energy, you know the excitement and chills that runs through my body when I speak on the stage. In poetry there is no right way you can be happy or full of rage. Its extensive and it helps me cope. I guess it’s better than just shutting down and going ghost. I can organize my thoughts and reference everything I wrote, and no matter the topic I swear I'm the goat. I know this is supposed to be a poem about my life but the strangest thing is, I wouldn’t recognize myself if I couldn’t write.

Here is my dog sleeping in a bed that he has had since he was smaller. Since he has grown, I of course have gotten him a much bigger bed for some reason he strongly prefers this one. 

If I posted this on Facebook or another social media site. The context would probably change. People would probably scold me for giving him such a small bed and assume that his life is absolutely horrible.
