If my lack of shares on my previous three articles does not show it, maybe this article will. Seeing that I have a total of 25 shares on those articles, I have begun to wonder what I could do to do better. I have narrowed it down to four options: writing better, finding better things to write about, self-deprecation, or self-realization. I could write better, but I have never been much of a writer to begin with, so I doubt that's gonna happen anytime soon. Finding better things to write about seems like it would be the easiest option, but since I have a very strange sense of humor and very few passions, I'm not entirely sure how that would work out in the long run. Self-deprecation seems desperate, but sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures. Last but not least, there's self-realization. What would I be self realizing you ask? Well, I would realize that I am just not relatable enough to write for The Odyssey.

Now I'm not saying that it is a bad thing to not be relatable, but it is if you are writing for an organization geared towards getting shares because many people relate to or enjoy your articles. The things that I find funny are only funny to a select group of people, and that can only take me so far. I also do not have that many friends to begin with, and that doesn't help my cause either (see also: self-deprecation).

Since I have never really been in a relationship before, I can't give any advice on that, but everyone is dying to read relationship advice because it seems like no one knows how relationships work anymore. I'm not sh*tting on the way people handle their relationships, but as soon as there's any sort of conflict whatsoever, people freak out and expect someone else to figure it out for them.

I also have both a mom and a dad whom I love to death, but as much as I want to write about how much I love them, I'd rather not share my personal relationships with everyone because they're personal and I want them to stay that way. That is not why I am writing for the Odyssey, so if you're looking for that, good luck finding it here.

The main reason I decided to write for this organization is because I thought it would be a good way to show the world a new perspective on things, whether they liked it or not. If people related to it, great, but if not, that's fine too. It's OK to be different than everybody else, even if that means making a fool out of yourself, which in my case means getting single-digit shares on my Odyssey articles. So if you find this article relatable, share it and tell your friends about it, but if not, it wouldn't be the end of the world for me.
