			<title>Chapter One: Sydney</title>
			<description>I feel strangely alone when I'm not in front of a mirror. &amp;nbsp;I've spent so much of my life staring at my own reflection, I hardly know what to do when I go without seeing myself for more than a couple of hours. &amp;nbsp;It's become natural for me to search the tinted windows of cars for my fat, frec..</description>

			<title>Never Quite There</title>
			<description>She takes my arm and we begin the long walk down the aisle.  She's whispering something to me, laughing.  I nod, not quite hearing what she's saying, not quite comprehending what she's trying to tell me, as I've done all the years of her life.Never quite there.
