			<title>Drained</title>
			<description>Deep down I know I'm not easy to love. My mind spins faster than I can comprehend, my mouth can't convey what I really mean. I look too deep into words, emotions and actions. But I also know I'm a good person and that is slowly killing me. From the crack of dawn I'm dressed professionally, attending..</description>

			<title>Letter to the unknown</title>
			<description>Excuse the chaotic lines as though I'm not entirely sure either.&amp;nbsp;The last few months I've come to the realisation that I don't know where I'm going. It seems as though the human race is programmed to perform the same task over and over again. Right until we rest in a wooden box! How insane is t..</description>
