It's been popping up all over your newsfeed on Facebook for a while now; those well written articles, so relatable to your daily life that you decide to tag a distant friend, your boyfriend, maybe even your mom and share it with them. You've probably begun to notice they are all from a website called Odyssey.

I love writing articles for Odyssey. I love seeing an article I spent hours or maybe days working on, shared on Facebook. All my hard work paid off, and I can't help but feel as though my work touched someone in some way and made a difference in their life. Whether it's news related, something funny or a personal open letter, I love writing something people take time out of their day to read.

Publishing something I created is the biggest reward. I don't write for Odyssey in hopes that my article goes viral and gets recognition; I write for Odyssey in hopes that my writing reminds people they are not alone, makes their gloomy day a little better and lastly, in hopes someone will appreciate the time and effort that not only myself, but my entire team puts into their articles.

If you only want a reward for your writing, Odyssey is not for you. If you only want to become famous after a viral article, Odyssey is not for you. And, if you want to acquire more Facebook friends or followers because of your articles then Odyssey is not for you.

However, if you want to introduce your writing to the world, if you want to work with a team of writers who are just as passionate as you are, and last but not least, want a creative outlet, that is a safe place to express yourself and to get your voice heard:

Odyssey is for you.

"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." –Maya Angelou
