Breasts and Eggs | Mieko Kawakami

“It feels like I‘m trapped inside my body. It decides when I get hungry and when I‘ll get my period. From birth to death, you have to keep eating and making money just to stay alive. I see what working every night does to my mom. It takes it out of her. But what‘s it all for? Life is hard enough with just one body. Why would anyone ever want to make another one?”
