Don't Write For Page Views, Write Because You Want To

I'm not on Odyssey for fame or glory.

Don't Write For Page Views, Write Because You Want To

I don't care who reads this article and who doesn't. It's true. You can choose to read this or you can't. It's all up to you. I write for Odyssey simply because I like it and there's not another reason. I'm not greedy for page views.

There was a time when I was like this. I was hungry for attention at any cost. But, as I got older, I started to care less and less about what the world thinks of me. Part of that is attributed to my Christian faith but a good part of it was maturing and realizing the world's opinion doesn't really matter.

There are some writers that write for Odyssey that do write for page views. They use this merely as a platform to spread what they're all about. And that's awesome! They have every right to do just that.

But if I want to use Odyssey to write whatever I want to write about without the pressure of sharing my article all over the place, I should have the right to do so.

I mean, let's face it. I write articles about the best sports movies of all time and professional wrestling. I know those aren't hot topics. But I enjoy writing about that and Odyssey allows me to write about it in a public forum.

In conclusion, just know that whether you read my articles or not is no skin off me whatsoever. I just write for the pleasure of writing and, possibly, for your enjoyment.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
