		<description><![CDATA[We hear arguments all the time that social media is not all that social at all &#8211; that it is, in fact, making us drift apart as a society. We&#8217;re becoming disengaged from &#8216;real life&#8217;, disconnected from people and simply chained to our computers rather than out there, living. But I wholeheartedly disagree.

When that happens, you have one of two choices; to release it all, or to hold a grudge. I&#8217;ve met way too many people who, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[BFF &#8211; Best Friends Forever. Those immortal words have been scrawled on the notebooks of teenage girls for years. We all believe there is no bond so strong, nothing can bring down this impenitrable wall of solidarity, few people understand the innate workings of the sisterhood you&#8217;ve sworn yourself into with your besties. It&#8217;s nice [...]]]></description>

Called &#8216;ugly&#8217; frequently and pretty much ignored by the opposite sex at that all important time when you want nothing more than for them to give you a passing glance. I wasn&#8217;t blonde or blue eyed and my pancake chest most definitely did not bring all the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My previous relationships all came with an overall theme of &#8216;drama&#8217;. My first serious relationship was drama filled. I was young and didn&#8217;t know any better, so behaviour I&#8217;d become used to in that relationship, became behaviour I tolerated in others throughout my twenties.
