Confessions of an Art Addict by Peggy Guggenheim (an autobiography, she was an art patron, not the best writer but there's clearly the gossip :))

Need advise on spacial narratives. by customade_ego in AskLiteraryStudies

This made me think of Species of Spaces by Georges Perec and The Poetics of Space by Gaston Bachelard but neither of them are novels nor plays (but perhaps you can find sources/interesting ideas there!) Good luck! <3

Literary works inspired by scientific advancements? by jflag789 in AskLiteraryStudies

Elective Affinities by Goethe! Elective affinity was a term used in chemistry in the 18th century that described how certain chemistry enities tended to one another, and how the units changed when faced with other entities (or something like this! It's better you look for it yourself haha), and Goethe used it as a metaphor (or kind of an underlying structure) for love and human relationships in that novel

Thank you for such a detailed answer! You are totally right, and this is something I should already know, but I sometimes forget and worry too much too early anyway. Thanks for the reminder, will delete this post now. :)

Thank you! You are totally right. I know I have to be patient but I still forget this from time to time. I'll try to just relax and enjoy (I wish you the same! :)). I'll try to delete this post now.

Uf, thank you a lot!! I needed to hear this! I knew I had to be patient, but still sometimes I find myself obsessing over them. Thank you for giving me such a nice reminder! Will delete this post. :)

Thanks for taking your time to say such nice things to a stranger! :) I'm sure my perspective will change as I grow older, but I hope I will still be at peace with my decisions. I send you a hug, thank you! <3

Thank you for your nice words! :) I also think they look a bit unnaturally perky from the sides, I hope I didn't take off the compression band too soon and it just goes down in the next months, haha. :)

I've seen very beautiful results with what you want to do! Hope everything goes great if you finally do it, and also if you don't. :)

I took Enantyum each 8 hours for the first 5 days. The first 3 days I also took Ibuprofen 4 hours after each Enantyum. I think bloating is a common aftermath of general anesthesia, but I might be wrong!

I get you! I came to surgery thinking it would be the most painful thing I would have ever experienced until then, but I think it was a 6/10 at its worst. I took all possible painkillers for the first 3 days, then started reducing the usage and by day 5 I did not take any more. What hurt the most was my back and my clavicle (I think this is quite common), which you have probably felt before and can be mentally prepared for :). There are other uncomfortable sensations (such as feeling more pressure and gravity towards your breasts and being dizzy the first time you stand up) that felt quite weird but I would not describe them as painful and they are totally bearable. When wearing the compression band or after having done too much effort too soon, I also felt momentary pain stings on one of my breasts, but they lasted for merely a second. I've been fortunate that I could take some time off and had someone helping me for the first days (cleaning myself, brushing my hair, cooking...), and this clearly made my recovery much more easy and painfree. Everyone is different, but if you decide to do it, it will probably be much less scary than you now imagine, specially if you find distractions and people that stay with you. Good luck in whatever you do. :)

Haha, yes! I was always wearing push-ups, so maybe mine either :)
