First comes the “Thank you.”

Really and truly, thank you all for being so incredibly supportive. The ones who read and share my articles every week without fail, I appreciate that more than you know! What you really don’t know is that I put a ridiculous amount of time and effort into this “little” Odyssey thing. There’s a whole process, and so much goes into it. There’s so many people that run and care about the success of each individual community. As far as articles go, I wouldn’t ever share something that I felt was pointless or that wouldn’t help someone in some way. But sometimes, that someone is me. Thank you for the feedback and the messages when I’ve helped out in some aspect of your life. Thank you to those that actually read them. Last but not least, thank you to those that think my articles are good enough to be shared to your friends.

Next, the “I’m sorry.”

I’m sorry that my posts clog up your timeline sometimes. I am sorry if you ever find it annoying. Social media is becoming something that the world relies on. Think about all the makeup groups, the itworks, and many others like it—that’s how they’re making a living essentially. I'm sorry that I am proud of the work I do and want it to be shared with others. Sorry that I have to double check with my family to make sure they’ve shared. I’m even sorry that I make you share articles that are COMPLETELY unrelated to you, but I’m so happy when you do. Sorry, not sorry, if you actually have a problem with it.

Now, the “This is important to me.”

I really love what I’ve been able to do this year and the group of people I’ve been a part of. I haven’t even been a part of this for a whole year and it’s already changed my life is so many incredible ways. I have awesome new friends from all over the country that have turned into such a supportive resource. My writing, my photos, and my stories have been viewed by thousands of people. I’ve gained invaluable skills that are going to help me in every aspect of college, work, and even life. So what am I getting at? What do I expect from my friends?

This is your time to say “It’s OK.”

Love your friend,

The Writer

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
