Have you ever felt like getting your thoughts out or wanted to see if others see a situation the same way you do? Odyssey has a great way to give readers that opportunity. There are lots of people that are great writers but never had the chance to explore those skills. Odyssey gives the community and nation a way to help those explore different skills. This is a social network where readers can view different topics daily about news, politics, sports, relationships and more. This is also a place for those that have inspiring or helpful thoughts for other people to read.

Odyssey is a platform to reach out in different communities and share anything that goes on in the world or even real life experience with those writing the articles. Odyssey also gives you the chance to think outside the box and motivate others to want to really push themselves as a person or in certain situations. The population that visits the website is extremely large. Different age groups are on this website daily. Anybody that has access to the Internet or a mobile device can see what is on Odyssey.

According to the Odyssey website, it was founded at Indiana University by two students named Evan Burns and Adrian France. They realized that social media did not have enough diversity or perspectives from a variety of people. They wanted to change social media into a place where others can share their passions and interests to the public. The way Odyssey works is an amazing new idea that is expanding the way social media and communications interact with the world.

Today, social media can be used to be negative toward businesses, celebrities, events around the world and more. Odyssey takes the chance to bring positive thoughts back into social media and show individual's perspectives. With all the negativity towards the media, there needs to be more positive influences to show people that the Internet is not all bad. Being a writer is one of the hardest things to do but also fun and overwhelming. Odyssey has a really great system and gives the reader and writer the chance to make a difference in social media.

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.
