Thank You, Odyssey Writers.

No, this is not a parallel universe. Yes, you deserve credit and recognition... because all of this you do is a "little lot of a big deal"

Thank You, Odyssey Writers.
Tim Marshall

I thank you. I thank each and every one of you. I thank you for all of your ideas and beautiful, thoughtful, and diverse content.

I thank you for leaving your hearts and minds out here, so others can see it and reflect, or relate, or simply be entertained.

I thank you no matter who you are, where you are from, whether your last name is Perez or Smith.

I thank you and I can care less about your sexuality, religion, or sexual preference.

I thank you, not having in mind what candidate you like.

I thank you for being yourselves every time you type, and for your honesty and uniqueness in doing so; for not holding back.

I am proud for the opportunity the Odyssey has given me. I am also proud of sharing the Odyssey with such amazing group of writers, diverse in many aspects, but united by this single bond.

I am asking you all not to stop. Do not stop sharing your minds with the world. The job you (we) do may influence one person, or a hundred, or thousands. Although number is such an irrelevant factor here; it takes only one soul to move a million others.

I am convinced of your passion, therefore of your ability to transfer it.

I want to tell you that you are not a number; you are not just one in the 7.5 billion. You are special and have proven it through this medium. You are unique and whoever disagrees with your content proves that point. Nobody has your mind, and "nobody have their own mind". Yes, you have just theorized diversity.

You are complex and capable to stand out, and I am proud of you for showing it to many, many other human beings, without fear.

You are more knowledgeable than anybody else of your own world. Yet you are selfless, because you choose to share part of it with us.

You are something else, Odyssey creator. Keep that in mind every time somebody tells you otherwise.

You are truly an amazing individual, making changes in the few or in the many.

You already made a difference, you are accomplished.

I'll tell you something last, Odyssey representative, and don't think I'm lacking content so I have to repeat myself (to reach the right amount of words). I'll tell you again that number is irrelevant. You only need one to have millions.

Remember, there is only ONE world.

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.
