“Discover your next chapter,” says the neat white box on my table. For the next three hours, I create a collage of my desired future life out of cut-out stock images, contemplate impactful life events, identify my “big want,” and take stretching breaks.

Call it laziness, or minimalism, or just general exhaustion, but as of late, I somehow found that I unintentionally reduced my skincare to the absolute bare minimum: A cleanser, moisturizer, and SPF.

A handful of days after my bilateral mastectomy, my seven-year-old daughter saw my breasts. No longer voluptuous like they were when she suckled them for over a year and a half, her face crinkled. Not in disgust, but in wonderment, as she took them in. “When will you have nipples, mommy?” she asked. After I
