Vices

“When I was thirteen, a vice was anything that your parents told you not to do. And it was everything that the cool girls did.”
The Moth (themoth.org) is a monthly storytelling competition held across America and in the UK and Melbourne. You put your name in the hat. Ten storytellers are chosen at random. You have five minutes to tell a true story about yourself without notes on the theme of the month.
This is a recording of me at The Moth in Melbourne, Australia in January 2023. The theme was “Vices.”
