		<description><![CDATA[This post was originally called &#8216;Shit I wish I could stop doing&#8217; but I thought better of it. This is a list of mistakes I seem to keep making. Again and again and again. Sometimes despite being aware that it is an issue! Self awareness isn&#8217;t instinct. Not everybody analyses their thoughts and behaviors. For me to assume everybody [...]]]></description>

Power, wisdom and hope that became the light at the end of the tunnel when there seemed to be no other. At the moment I, and [...]]]></description>

You are craving the light like a fashion junky craves new Jimmy Choo's because you are certain that it can't possibly get any darker than this moment. You are wrong. Invariably we are wrong. We underestimate how much darkness we can withstand. We cannot quantify how much darkness we can swallow whole. But I can tell you how you know it really is the darkest hour; you stop expecting the light.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My point? Yes I do have one – other than to whine about all of the tiny things that drove me insane – is this; if so many things were to go wrong in the lead up to any other event I would have reconsidered. I would have pondered the possibility that the universe/god/whoever was trying to tell me something. I would have read the writing on the wall.]]></description>

A decade ago, today, I was faced with the biggest challenge of my life. No I am not talking about a regular rite of passage either. It was traumatic. I knew right then that my life had changed forever.]]></description>
