You Probably Won't Read This

You Probably Won't Read This
James Sutton

I could write the most intriguing article or the most descriptive poem on the internet, but you probably wouldn't read it. I don't know why... probably because it is too long. If it isn't a list, it's blacklisted. Therefore, I find it even difficult to write this. What is the point of writing if nobody reads it. But, I wonder if, ironically, because my title explicitly says that you won't read it, you will actually read it. Funny how reverse psychology works. If you are reading this article, GREAT! :) If you haven't checked out my other works, you should. They are not like this one, but instead, they have a really deep meaning. They might take a little more than 5 seconds to read, so you might have to plan sometime in your schedule. :P Another good thing you can do if you read my other "articles" is to share them. See, as well as helping my ego, it also makes the Odyssey team better.

If you don't think sarcasm is funny, I'm sorry. You should probably not read some of my "articles." However, if you like romance, dry humor, or puns, you have come to the right (or should I say "write") place!

This is a very short expression of my tiredness. I'm tired of writing with no purpose. Maybe next time, I will make a list! 5 Reasons Why People Read Articles! It will probably be a hit. Then I will hit myself for conforming to this flow.

Maybe I will not write a list because it doesn't express fully my feelings that I hold inside. It doesn't show who I truly am. It just gives me the power to make people believe that life actually consists of lists, and limit other people's minds to a certain number of options they have to live life. People like limitations. It makes them feel safe. They don't like thinking about the fact that there are infinite amounts of ways life can go. There are probably more than five reasons that people read articles. However, putting it into five makes it feel easier.

The same reason we like lists are the same reason we have stereotypes. We, as humans, like to categorize people and things to make it easier to judge.

There we go! Now that I said something meaningful, you might not want to read this. Haha, too late!

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.
