For now it is sufficient to ask : What were you doing when you were eight, thirteen, fifteen, and eighteen?

Ask yourself:

- Who were your closest friends?
- Your enemies?
- Why?
- How?
- Your crush?
- Your girl/boy friend?
- What did you have tacked on the walls?
- What was in your pocket?
- Your backpack?
- What was something you wished you said to your parents, your teachers, your best friends, your peers, your siblings, your enemies?
- What was something you wish you hadn’t said to your parents, your teachers, your best friends, your peers, your siblings, your enemies?
- What did you see when you looked in the mirror?
- What did you want to see when you looked in the mirror?
- What was your relationship with your body?
- With other bodies?
- What was the taste you can most remember?
- What was the place that made you feel most alive and why?
