What I Learned Being A Part Of Odyssey

To write is to say to readers, "this is the way things are."

Such has been my experience as a once-a-week content creator and accomplisher of tasks including but not limited to regular attempts to draw more Social Engagements out of my Facebook friends so that maybe I can make it to the top of the Top Articles This Week list again, because after all this has been my responsibility as a member of this crack team of coffee lovers, glamorous Instagrammers, aspiring fashion designers, high-flying trapeze texters, cocoa butter enthusiasts and people who drive a little too slow for the speed limit, though it remains to be seen how backwards-compatible each of these becomes under different circumstances.

Thus, as it is, this is an ever-shifting modus operandi for Millennials to express their opinions atop a soap box that other platforms like would marginalize through the generalization of a multitude of pulchritudinous experiences condensed like pasta out of boiling hot water with a little salt and olive oil into an advertisement casually inserted into the middle of this article (unless you have Adblock) and furthermore I have grown as a person through this process.

The "Open Letter" format, in particular, has much to offer this bright young entrepreneurial generation whose minds function in experimental synchronicity while scrolling towards detailed (or derailed?) accounts of deeply personal revelations, then reading them, maybe, and shortly moving on to the next vaguely humorous mimetic piece of semi-original content from sources that increasingly occupy more and more space on the information superhighway. We are living in the future.

Moreover, it is worthwhile to duly take note of the informational crossover between social media platforms of all varieties including but not limited to Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, Pinterest, Reddit, LinkedIn, Instagram and more and more in a list that could go on and on as long as the information superhighway itself, and when taking this into account it leaves me with no conclusion left to draw other than this is truly remarkable.

I thank you for clicking on this my thirteenth piece for Odyssey to date, and I wish to assure you each social engagement on this article will directly correlate to the amount of intrinsic value associated with the letters, words, sentences, paragraphs and punctuation marks therein should lead me to use my powers of persuasion for good and not for neutral.

Finally, I will never forget all the other amazing things I've learned because of Odyssey, nor will I ever repeat them to anybody.

See you next week!

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.

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.
