		<title>Love</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This weekend, a holiday occurs that elicits the most extreme of actions from a good portion of our nation. Nearly every person, in some way, will see the red balloons, the pink and white window decor, the heart decorations, the television spots, the merchandise&#8230;ad nauseum. Some will rush out to buy flowers, cards, chocolate, jewelry-anything [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=janavt.wordpress.com&blog=3759980&post=97&subd=janavt&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I want to go back.
Back to that mountain.
Back to that street.
Back to being happy.
Back to being myself.
I want to go back.

		<title>Extraordinary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I have decided to begin writing a series of blogs on people who have touched my life, had an impact on me, or generally mean a great deal to me. Through this sort of experimental blogging, I intend to build and maintain a deeper appreciation for those around me, as well as allow people to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=janavt.wordpress.com&blog=3759980&post=88&subd=janavt&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Lyrics.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To you, who I generally have regarded as one of the top loves in my life: You&#8217;re right about the slow fade. Just know it&#8217;s not an immediate return, but it is happening.
A song by Casting Crowns says a lot:
Be careful little eyes what you see.
It&#8217;s the second glance that ties your hands as darkness [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=janavt.wordpress.com&blog=3759980&post=85&subd=janavt&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>One love.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
My facebook status questions whether the rather ambiguous &#8220;things&#8221; will ever be the same again. I realize I am coming to the conclusion that no matter when a person asks that question, the answer is, 100% of the time, a resounding &#8220;no.&#8221; I am coming to grips with this slowly, but it definitely leaves [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=janavt.wordpress.com&blog=3759980&post=81&subd=janavt&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Void</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

I have officially left Vermont, moved into my first house ever, and started my last year of school. Surprisingly, though, I am not nearly as excited as I think I should be in this case.
Many people who know me have recently asked,“what’s wrong?” on a fairly consistent basis. The fact of the matter is that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=janavt.wordpress.com&blog=3759980&post=74&subd=janavt&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Noise</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When a song is on repeat, you can’t help but focus on it, be affected by the lyrics, and think about it constantly. Such is the case with the countdown of days in my head. The tune of sadness is the same, but the words are different every time.
“6 days, 6 days, 6 days.”
“4 more [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=janavt.wordpress.com&blog=3759980&post=60&subd=janavt&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Setting Sun</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(This blog was written over the course of a week or so)
I am presently in the backseat of a car right now, riding down interstate 93 on my way to Martha&#8217;s Vineyard.
Tuesday night, I flew to Charleston to see my family, saw a bunch of friends and family, and then headed to North Carolina to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=janavt.wordpress.com&blog=3759980&post=47&subd=janavt&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Speeding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Recently on my way home from work, I heard the ever-irritating Rascal Flatts belting out &#8220;Life is a Highway&#8221; from my car speakers. As I sped toward my destination, I contemplated the cliche. I guess you could call life a highway&#8230;we are all headed in one direction, u-turns are not allowed, and some people seem [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=janavt.wordpress.com&blog=3759980&post=35&subd=janavt&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Life Moments</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
3,858 feet above sea level Sunday, I was asked what one of my most obvious &#8220;life moments&#8221; was-a moment where I felt fully invigorated and alive. I considered this for a moment, and was sadly left searching for a proper answer.  Sure, I&#8217;ve been white water rafting, I&#8217;ve witnessed the birth of a child, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=janavt.wordpress.com&blog=3759980&post=30&subd=janavt&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
