An Odyssey Poem: Live Yo' Best Life​

This past year has been such a dream; traveling to Anaheim, LA, Oceanside, everywhere in between. It was all such a fun and amazing time, I'm so lucky to be here living my best life.

An Odyssey Poem: Live Yo' Best Life​
Ethan Titus

This past year has been such a dream
Traveling to Anaheim, LA, Oceanside
Everywhere in between
It was all such a fun and amazing time
I'm so lucky to be here living my best life

I write for Odyssey, I'm a server and have great friends
The smile I share online and in person
Is more than genuine

I'm so happy, so much happier than before
I have my family, friends and dogs
What more could I ask for?

I used to think life was all about love
Money, popularity, being Regina George
Duh?

Well news flash honey, ain't shit about that

If you don't love yourself, don't expect anyone to back

I have Sam, Dani, Yolanda and Tay
I have April, Brandon, Q, Moe and the J's
I have Cyrus, Jake, Fox, all my furry friends
I have Grandma and Grandpa who I love always, to no end
We can't forget about Matt, Christina and Wes
Dad, Kayc, and both of their furry friends

My life is so awesome, I am so lucky
This poem might seem like I have it easy
I assure you I don't, and I'm not trying to be cheesy

Some days are absolutely harder than others
But at the end of it all, I don't need my mother

She ruined my life, and everyone around hers
Mostly mine, but hey, she doesn't care

When she pretended to have cancer
Some of us were smart enough to know better
I don't care about her, her feelings or her life
What can I say? She wasn't a mother

To my sisters I love so deeply forever
My brother I don't remember
Or whatever other kids she might have had

Being a big brother is such a blessing
I'm sorry I'm not there for school dances, but hopefully your wedding

I'm writing this poem for everyone out there
It gets better I promise, just believe in yourself
Get help, talk to friends, your family and counselors

You aren't alone, no matter what you think
High school sucks and hey, boys stink

You were the baddest bish in the sandbox
You still the baddest bish in all the land
It's about to be summer, live your best life
Hell, get a spray tan

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.
