I was raped when I was 16. Told no-one and was very scared so ended up going through a very late and lonely abortion. Has left a bit of a lasting effect on me
Then having my daughter whilst still a teenager - by choice

Getting myself into University at age 23 after leaving school at 16 and being thrown out of college for not attending (see point 1) and getting my degree. Finally feeling proud of myself
When I got the phone call that my fiancee had killed himself. I've never been kicked in the stomach by a buffalo but I think I knew then what it would feel like. And despite looking and looking I've never found anyone as special as my gorgeous George was.
Then I got back on a bike after 22 years and some of you know the rest
