Why Did My Article Get Deleted?

You cannot determine if someone truly sucks or not until you really get to know them.

Why Did My Article Get Deleted?

A week ago, I dropped my magnum opus, per say. It got hundreds of more views within twenty-four hours than I have ever gotten before on any of my wonderfully terse pieces. I literally wrote it in the discussion section of my Islam class, with Rafin right next to me, so he could see firsthand how I planned to roast him. Furthermore, he even choreographed the wording of the last paragraph. That's how much of a goober this kid is. He was excruciatingly insistent, wanting the world to know that he has a vast sports jersey collection and has a Hawaiian shirt "for every day of the week."

Last Monday, I put the article in various Facebook groups, ostensibly attempting to increase the amount of views I got and to make sure I specifically got more views than Max McSherry, another content creator here at Odyssey. Things were going well. A lot of friends from home read it and found it rather funny. I hoped they would, considering they knew both Rafin and me. People who didn't know Rafin wouldn't have the knowledge of how terrible his personality is, though; so, I fervently attempted to convey that fact through my writing (and of course the dumb picture of him). However, as I stepped out of class early Monday evening, Rafin texted me, asking if I had deleted my post that shared the article in the Class of 2019 Facebook Group.

I checked, and sure enough, my post had vanished. Someone had deleted it. For what reason? I don't know. My article definitely wasn't spam. Someone had commented asking essentially what the point of the article was. The fact that I have to churn out an article per week is more than enough reason. Maybe the person responsible for the deletion of my article took issue with the title. Odds are they probably didn't read a bit of the content beyond that; because if they did, they'd certainly have realized that the title acts as a vital vehicle in the true point of my piece: discriminating against people for aspects of their life, such as their religion, is an abhorrent practice. My piece, consequently, demonstrates that you cannot determine if someone truly sucks or not until you really get to know them.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
