- one night when i was really little, my nana was spending the night at our house. i had already gone to sleep, but i was awoken later to some kind of noise. i went downstairs and saw my nana on the ground with my mom, my dad, and firemen surrounding her. i asked what was going on and they told me to go to sleep. i did and she died the next day. nobody remembers me ever going downstairs.
- in elementary school, i was playing kickball with some other kids. i'd probably said something insulting to another kid and when i ran to second base, he threw a ball at me and i was out. he said, "how do you like them apples?" and, as i walked off the field, i yelled, "i don't even like apples!" probably the worst comeback i've ever come up with.
- every single day of 7th grade. i can't remember even one happy memory from that year (aside from an attractive geography teacher) and i wish i could hit my head so hard i'd forget it ever happened.
- in september of 2008, i made a huge mistake at a park in the middle of the night. the events of the night are much clearer to me than i've led most to believe, but even i have trouble sorting out what exactly the details meant. i don't even want to know.
- freshmen year of high school, i got into a huge fight with my two best friends in the parking lot of the public library about my boyfriend. they were angry at me because i never spent any time with them and they were sick of me promising to change and never following through. when the yelling was done, they walked away to go get picked up. i sat down on a curb and cried so hard i couldn't breathe. my boyfriend never even walked over to me to see if i was okay. i'd never felt so alone.
- the biggest fight i've ever had with you. i broke up with you and you told me i was just like your stepmoms. probably the most offensive thing you'd ever said to me.
- the day my dad moved out and i was assured it was a temporary situation because my parents needed some time apart. only to have my mother inform me days later that she liked it better this way, but we'd "see how it goes". he's still not home.
