		<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[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>

		<description><![CDATA[I didn&#8217;t take the bus to the train this morning because I would have had to wait 18 minutes, and I can walk the little-better-than half-mile to get to the train quicker than that. So walk I did. At 7:30 in the morning it had already cleared 85 degrees. It was muggy. Wearing a synthetic shirt, even if it was sheer, did not make it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Driving home from Northwest Indiana tonight, I got to admiring the sparkle-sparkle of skyscraper windows glittering like a treasure box of gems while driving up Lake Shore Drive. Whenever I see Chicago at night, especially the lit-up windows of skyscrapers, I think of being in high school, driving home from Great America at 1 in the morning with my brother and our friend Ken, completely [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;there lived a little girl who believed in the magic and magnetism of true love. That sounds unreasonably sappy, but I&#8217;m giving myself to dating once again. I&#8217;m still trying the online thing, and I&#8217;m still going to events and talking to people. It&#8217;s all a work in progress, but the older I get the stronger this yearning for companionship becomes. It&#8217;s not a matter [...]]]></description>

I push and push and push away, but thin elastic can only stretch so far before it breaks in half or comes careening backward, a flash of lightning. Exciting. Not always inviting. I&#8217;m disoriented. There are pieces of my life that are lined up on the sill like good little ducks, but there are a [...]]]></description>

They were good, and a few people gave them the worn down dollars they had in their pockets. Some woman though, talking on the phone, was pissed because she couldn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I won&#8217;t lie. The month of June has been the worst month I&#8217;ve had in a long time. I&#8217;m now living in Chicago, which is exciting in its own right, but moving and preparing for the move and the aftermath of the move has had my mind racing into panic-mode. Anyone who helped me move in any capacity probably saw this. The week before I [...]]]></description>
