- listening to How Soon Is Now? by The Smiths at 3am as I contemplated suicide and smoked my inaugural cigarette.
- the night my grandmother, with whom I shared a myriad of childhood memories, said she no longer recognised me, as a result of her dementia and deteriorating health.
- the afternoon I had an abortion, and the subsequent months of victimisation and judgmental harassment I endured.
- being aggressively punched by a former boyfriend (pfft!), with him later forcing me to lie about the nature of my bruises to my friends, teachers, siblings and parents.
- having my purse stolen at gun point in Paramaribo.
