		<description><![CDATA[I swear to god the universe is fucking with me on purpose.

I finally feel something.  My withered soul was just starting to breathe again.

I can&#8217;t remember the last time I&#8217;ve felt anything enough to cry.

		<title>a reason for hope</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve clicked with someone through cyberspace alone quite so well since I was in college, and unscarred, unscathed, unjaded.  Naive.  Open.  Fearless.  I did make some great friends then.  And some bad ones.  Nearly all of them long-distance, and most in a foreign country.

		<title>Things are okay</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not great, but okay. After abandoning the whole idea of OKCupid for a year and a half, I am attempting again, for lack of better options.  I put myself out there, in the real world, but whatever new people I meet are either not interested, not interesting (in that way), or taken.  So.
