Odyssey, Are You Really Letting Me In?

I simply don't know where my words continue to go as they certainly haven't yet been allowed into the Odyssey.

Odyssey, Are You Really Letting Me In?

Hello? Hello?! HELLO!?! Are my words going out there? Can anybody read me? Hello?

Unlike just about everybody who has submitted something here at Odyssey, I've managed to become some kind of exception TO EVERY RULE written by Odyssey as my profile and me have been removed from a community, then blocked by beta testing and broken technology for approximately three months, despite the twenty plus some emails made by me asking somebody and everybody for tech support. It has all been wildly frustrating, admittedly desperately depressing, and a true pain in the rear to keep up with informing and reworking my multiple fails. Not only that, but it's a story I've written and written again, in desperate attempts to get someone out there to read about the insane way I was fired from a free job – INSTANTANEOUSLY – without a word as to why. However, I suspect that it was because of some texts about emojis. In this case, it was the cats, and oddly enough, it was that curiosity that killed me from my original Odyssey community in February.

Now I've been instructed by another at Odyssey to try it again, and for some SICK, CRAZY reason, I'm going to. Probably because I'm upset at the insane way it all became okay to kick me to the curb without a reasonable word as to why. It is because of this injustice that I continue TO TRY!! Although, I no longer know why. I guess the Odyssey and their promises of being an open, democratic, and free place for writers to share stories with their audience have proven to be too powerful a lure for the hopeful writer in me.

Injustices of the past BE DAMNED! I'm chock-full of words and looking for a place to share. So, again I try!

Okay now, best of luck to you little post! It's time for you to go into this Odyssey profile and I'll wait and see if anything comes of this posting. And please, if anyone out there has read a single word from me, I beg you to do your best to send a word back to me so that I know my message has been received, because currently, I think I'm just filling my own screen with thoughts and stories that no one can see or read.

PS – Here's a little insider info. My first attempt to post this certainly didn't go. Better luck to attempt number two!

PSS – Nope. Not a number two. Perhaps submission number three will work for me!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
