Dear mom.
So I know that a lot has been going on.
And it seems like a lot is about to happen.
I know that surgery is scary and I know most people don’t understand why I would voluntarily undergo a double mastectomy to remove a part of my body of which most people are jealous.
And I’m not going to lie and tell you that I’m not a little bit scared, and a little bit sad.
Even though I’ve never wanted them, my breasts are a part of me.
Last week I made a video of myself for myself for later, with my bare chest exposed. And as I did so, I felt this strange surge of pride in my body – a love of every bit of me.
