This is the story about a girl who left everything she knew to dedicate her life to her art. The story of The Glass Child, Charlotte Eriksson, is one of those you usually see in movies. At only 18 years old, she left everything she had in Gothenburg and moved to London to focus on her music and art. A vague dream about reaching out turned into an extraordinary fight for true and real art. It is a journey of self-discovery, learning solitude, the difference between having a home and feeling at home, and how she ultimately found a home in herself, in her music, and in her words. Charlotte spent a year homeless on the road, sleeping on friends’ and fans’ floors, learning and searching. An ordinary girl created a community of over 20,000 admiring fans online, and through hard work and determination, she built a life on her art, inspiring many people and showing that you can achieve and become exactly who you want to be if you want it badly enough.

A young writer's search for a place called home, what it means to be an artist, and finding peace with a restless heart. The follow up to Charlotte Eriksson's first book "Empty Roads & Broken Bottles; in search for The Great Perhaps", is the continued self-exploring quest of a young artist. Poetry, travel stories and journals that brings you in to this young girl's journey. ---------------- The journals and poetry explore the dreamer's fate of leaving and arriving, love and loss, and learning to go on on your own. It captures the city of Berlin, where I somehow ended up. The broken concrete, conversations with strangers, small moments of ache or clarity. The stories leads to the chapter of my Album Journals "Learning What It Means To Be An Artist," which is a series of journals and letters behind what came to be my second album "I Must Be Gone and Live, or Stay and Die". The album and this book go hand in hand and the lyrics and quotes blend into one another. The reader will find the book as a world of its own, and the listener of the album will find the musical world expanded into reality.
Take a shower, wash off the day. Drink a glass of water. Make the room dark. Lie down and close your eyes. Notice the silence. Notice your heart. Still beating. Still fighting. You made it, after all. You made it, another day. And you can make it one more. You're doing just fine. Named after the poem that has been shared over 400,000 times on Tumblr, this is the third book from young author and songwriter Charlotte Eriksson. A collection of prose and poetry with the theme of hope, recovery and finding beauty in the darkness. An exploration of the life of a young artist with an aching heart, urged by a wanderlust that leads and directs, and the simple task of learning how to live with yourself. "Charlotte knows her reader so well that it feels like she's writing my very own journal."
