'Morning NewLeaf, :hello:anyway I really dont want anything. I want to have less. less of everything. well except boobs. I'd like more boobs but less of everything else.
Sounds like a five year plan. You are going to have to give yourself that long to heal, being realistic. At that point you can see.
Maybe a savings account to fund possible future reconstruction might be a suitable destination for your Mum's desire to give you a gift?

Dear Mom,
I've decided that as I really don't need any more possessions, I'm asking for donations to [insert name of favourite charity] instead of gifts this holiday.
[Explain why this charity is close to your heart].
I'd like to raise xxx and hope you will agree this is the best gift I could both receive and give right now.
Love NewLeaf xxx
After all, you don't want to risk offending your Mum, do you?
