“Missing all those nights with your kiss & I’d do anything to fix this.”

She knows she’s got you feeling gray, but in her mind, she’s wishing that you wouldn’t stay. 

Don’t let strangers break your heart.

I had fun in the markets for a while but learned investing in myself and business was a better use of my funds.

Many people with mental health issues are struggling in silence and can use your support. Even a simple text can change someone’s day .

My view is that I love what I make so who cares what everyone else thinks. Make art for yourself first, and other people second.

Let’s give this one more try. My brain’s having contractions from those late-night interactions.

They see me smile on Instagram, they think that’s who I really am. But you weren’t there you didn’t see my pain. Your love was anything but vain.

You came into my life, with all your baggage, treatin’ me like collateral damage.

They moved me to the end of the therapy line, saying you’re put together, you’ll be just fine.

I give. And you take. So why are you always on my mind when I wake?

Some songs I write and it takes me like a year to release them.

Many people think they will get rich overnight with a side hustle but it takes time and consistency to see results.

Outsourced Feelings was created by O’Dell as a way to connect with others around the world through music and emotion.

This year has been a mess, but when a pandemic gives you lemons, stay home and make lots of creative lemonade.

I’ve been outraged by the state of the world this year and the disgusting violence that happens daily.

Is this what they call depression? Cuz I don’t know.

Leave me like you mean it. My heart can’t keep waiting for you.

Go on then, color me broken whilst I feign my surprise. Let me summon some sorrow for this wreckage inside.

Dawn breaks and this heart breaks, too. Yet the sun continues to rise and this heart of mine knows only of the journey down, like an eclipse of the heart.

I was told I could break free if I wanted to. That my wings would mend with time. But how can I mend a part of me that was never built to weather a storm?

I broke something and realized I should break something once a week to remind me how fragile life is.

Your smile brightens the lives of all who see it. To someone who has seen a dozen people frown, scowl or turn their faces away, your smile is like the sun breaking through the clouds.

The whole problem of life, then, is this: how to break out of one’s own loneliness, how to communicate with others.

Open your mind, allow your feelings to be expressed, to be pushed out, and your heart will neither break nor burst, but be a free-flowing channel of the life energy in your soul.
