The mirror darkly


I struggle with memories of the 90s. I can recall vivid moments from the 80s - the arrival in Australia, growing up migrant in mid to late 80s Perth, hot summers, new homes, the struggle for acceptance, the struggle in accepting. But the 90s seem elusive, perhaps because so much of my time had been devoted to study then, and then carving out a career as a teacher; I have no sense of a time or place that, for me, is characteristically, the 90s. It feels as if I have forgotten nearly a decade of my life.
