"Double-Edged" is an interesting new personal essay up on Nerve. In it, Kayla Rachlin Small writes about what it's like to be blessed with an amazing rack when what lies underneath it is cystic fibrosis.
"There's a difference between someone who can overlook what's wrong with me and someone who wants to look directly at it. This is how I want to be loved.

Small, a recent Columbia grad, wrote about love and disease for the New York Times. (via Luxurious Vulgarity)
