		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been forcing myself to write lately. Anything. It&#8217;s mostly been my pen in a paper journal, but there have been scraps of other thought, other stories. I thought perhaps writing in my blog would count for something, because I really do want it to count for something. The voice in the back of my head says so, and it&#8217;s my own. It&#8217;s been all [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m sorry your guitar was stolen. I&#8217;m sorry you have to be a robot in this world to do the things you do. I&#8217;m sorry I said [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This weekend is flying by, so much that I am really thankful for the day off tomorrow. I don&#8217;t know where the days (and nights) have gone. Well, that&#8217;s a lie. I do. Eating delicious dinners, watching movies curled up on the couch, sharing secrets, sharing fears, stealing kisses wrapped up in each other. I don&#8217;t want to be exclusive, nor do I want to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, dating. For what seems like forever, I&#8217;ve had trouble dating, especially when it came to dating men. There are a myriad of reasons, but without getting too specific and boring the living daylights out of everyone, I&#8217;ll just say that it stems from anxiety about intimacy and emotional immaturity. While no one takes heartbreak well, I seem to have a really hard time with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since moving to Chicago, I see a couple homeless people on the streets begging for money every single day. This isn&#8217;t a culture shock; I&#8217;ve been to Chicago enough to see and experience the begging of strangers on street corners even when living in Indiana. But still, to see beggars every day, I hate it. And of course I never know what they&#8217;re going to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Meeting people, listening to their stories, their life experiences, soaking it in and learning about the little ways in which the world works. Tiny things. Seemingly insignificant things. Eye contact across the crosswalk. The song playing one floor below my apartment. The messages in my inbox, my mailbox. The happiness and sorrow, it all awaits. I learn best from other people, even if we&#8217;re never [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes you stumble upon strangers playing bags on the street. And sometimes you talk to them. Sometimes they like you, and they give you beer, and you challenge them to a round of cornhole, and beat them. Sometimes you continue conversation while sipping whiskey in tea cups, and sometimes they give you their phone numbers. Sometimes the randomness of life is so very much worth [...]]]></description>

I had stayed the night with a couple of friends, and went to church with one of them this morning. I had been to this church before, back in high school. Some of the people there remembered me. They&#8217;re nice enough people, which is why this is a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a problem of getting lost in the past. Events, places, people, and experiences, I lose myself in them. Part of me says it&#8217;s because I&#8217;m looking for insight. I&#8217;m trying to figure out what I did wrong so I won&#8217;t do it again. Part of me says it&#8217;s out of habit. It&#8217;s a fixation. An obsession. Even if it hurts or if the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every Wednesday evening I stop at the farmers market on the way home. It&#8217;s literally in the way of my home, which I am not angry about at all. I love the fact that I get a farmer&#8217;s market on my street. There are always delicious things to buy. I got some Michigan cherries, some milk (not raw, but at least local), home made ice [...]]]></description>
