One year uniboob already; I can't decide for myself if time has gone by fast or slow. Both is true in a way, it feels like ages ago and yet I can't believe that's its one year already.

Small changes causing big emotions
An email pops up on my phone one afternoon. "Yes, we'd very much like to use your after picture at the breast surgery ward. We just need to figure out the details. When can you come by to get the slip for the photo studio?" I felt like screaming. So excited. Small that they may… Continue reading Small changes causing big emotions

I'm turning the pages of the portfolio of the plastic surgeon. She's understandably proud of her work. "I'm sure I can get a very good result with you," she reassures me, while I'm looking at small breasts, medium breasts, large breasts. They're all fake, it's easy to see. It's undeniable good work, but the situation… Continue reading We – the system
