		<description><![CDATA[I watched a documentary recently, 12th &#38; Delaware, on an intersection in Florida that features a women&#8217;s health clinic that provides abortions and an anti-choice center coercing women to maintain their pregnancies. It really irks me that such centers are allowed to exist and deliberately disseminate their blatantly false information. What it all boils down [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I first listened to this song a few weeks ago, and it&#8217;s really been sticking with me. On top of the facts that I&#8217;ve harbored a long-time appreciation for Eminem as a sort of guilty pleasure and Rihanna&#8217;s chorus is catchy and sung beautifully as always, I&#8217;m a one-time survivor and currently navigating my way [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To pick up where Part I left off, I made my way to begin anew in San Francisco&#8230; It all started off quite swimmingly. The entire environment in California, even Northern Cali where there aren&#8217;t really any beaches and generally the scene isn&#8217;t that stereotypical sunny, OC, blondes-in-bikinis thing, encourages a healthier lifestyle.

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s so obious to me that I&#8217;ve finally found a place that feels like home. Plenty of times over the years I&#8217;ve felt like I was home, but never AT home. People felt like home, never places. I was never itching to get back from a trip or that I&#8217;d miss a place when gone. [...]]]></description>

I had been in the process of applying for work sponsorship through the job I&#8217;ve had here in Australia since last October, and the end result was that I didn&#8217;t qualify. The waiting alone had taken a real toll on me&#8211;I don&#8217;t do very [...]]]></description>

I actually find it pretty difficult to contain myself, really, when I&#8217;m excited about something, upset, angry, and so on. Though angry is an extremely rare occurence&#8211;as Leonard described Penny in an episode of &#8220;The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been mulling over this post for a week now, and most of the waffling has been over the fact that posting here is public and much of my opinion on the subject of victim-blaming is grounded in the fact that I am a victim, have subjected myself to internal victim-blaming, and these are things [...]]]></description>

Because not only do I hope for a day when other people can be themselves without being judged, restricted, and even harmed by others simply due to who they are, but I&#8217;d like to see that day for myself. I don&#8217;t like having to censor what [...]]]></description>
