Sreyneang Souk, 25, Melbourne, Vic. My eyes lit up as soon as I saw the friend request on Facebook. It’s from Hak, I thought, feeling the same rush of excitement I had when we’d first met weeks ago. It was 2017, I was 20 years old and had met Hak, 23, at a friend’s party. As we’d both grown up in Cambodia, we had lots to talk about and I enjoyed his company. Only problem was, he lived interstate in Sydney. “I’ve missed you,” Hak said when we began talking later. The feeling was mutual, so I flew up to Sydney, where he worked as an asbestos removalist and soft demolition labourer. For the next year we travelled back and forth and began our relationship. One day, Hak called to…

Katherine Bennell-Pegg, 38, Adelaide, SA. With my head resting in the grass, I pointed up to the sky. “That’s Mars,” I told my friends. “When I become an astronaut, I’ll see it close.” “Cool,” they marvelled. It was 1993, and I was eight years old and into everything space-related. If I wasn’t learning about the planets, I was looking into ways I could become an astronaut. My parents were really supportive and enrolled me in aerobatic flying lessons. At uni I studied physics and engineering and met a guy called Campbell, who loved space as much as me. "I wish I could become an astronaut too but I get motion sick!” he told me. We started to date and after graduating, in 2007, we both moved to Europe for jobs…

Carol Goodall, 63. Browsing through a dating site, I paused on the photo of a handsome man. Gary had an open-necked shirt and a casual smile. I’m down-to-earth and easy-going, his Plenty of Fish profile read. It was 2015 and I’d been single for 12 years since my marriage break-up. My two kids were grown up and I was lonely. Gary and I started chatting. “Want to meet up for a drink?” he suggested after a few weeks. “I’d like that,” I replied. On Boxing Day 2015, we met up in my local pub. He told me he’d been married twice. “I was too young the first time,” he admitted. “Then my second wife died from cancer.” My heart swelled with sympathy. I told Gary about my job caring for…

Corey Choat, 36, Auckland, NZ. My older sister Sally held my newborn daughter Riley in her arms and began to sing a lullaby. “She’s your miracle baby,” Sally told me. Never had truer words been spoken. It was 2017 and my wife, Terryn, had just given birth after years of us trying unsuccessfully for a child. Knowing how much this meant to us, Sally, 32, had made the three-hour journey over to the hospital as soon as she could. “Darling Riri,” she purred, looking at her niece with loving eyes. I hoped that my daughter would grow up to be like her aunt: kind, loving and always caring for others. But Sally was battling demons, too. Diagnosed with mental health issues in her 20s, she’d been under medical supervision ever…

Curly crop When I was little my dad grew the most wonderful vegetables to sell at the local market. I would follow him as he picked plump, red tomatoes, colourful, juicy capsicums and sweet-tasting snow peas. Unfortunately, I didn’t end up inheriting his green thumb. When I recently showed him my attempt at growing carrots, you could have heard him laughing a block away! Sheila Wilmont, Maroubra, NSW. Dreamcatcher headscratcher My five-year-old granddaughter, Bea, was having bad dreams so we bought her a dreamcatcher to hang in her bedroom in the hopes that it might ease her fears about falling asleep. “The dreamcatcher with trap your bad dreams so they don’t annoy you,” I told her. I had to laugh when I went in to say goodnight and Bea was sitting…

Monica Allan, 55. My mum Betty sat on a stool in front of the mirror rubbing blusher into her cheeks. “Time for you to spray my hair,” she said, smiling. I jumped off the bed in excitement. I was five and had to stand on my tiptoes, which made her laugh. But there was another side to Mum. Much of my childhood was chaotic and frightening. Mum spent most days lying on the sofa with the curtains drawn, huddled under an old tartan blanket. The sink would be piled high with dishes, and empty vodka bottles littered the carpet. I learnt to dress and feed myself from an early age. Mum often wouldn’t speak to me, so I rang imaginary friends on the two ornamental telephones we kept on the…

Christine Hazel, 46. I stood up from my chair, intending to walk to the kitchen. But a shooting pain immediately ran up my leg, followed by a popping sound. My lower back spasmed and I fell to the floor in agony with my right leg completely numb. I’ve broken my back, I thought, unable to move. It was September 2012, and I was already housebound following spinal fusion surgery in my neck two years earlier to correct a childhood injury. My wife, April, was at work, and our two boys were at school. In desperation, I dragged myself to the phone and called an ambulance. Three minutes into the trip, I was startled by the inexplicable stimulation of my penis. What’s happening to me? I wondered as I grew increasingly…
