Living with Microtia

I have HFM with bilateral aural atresia or microtia which is a congenital condition presenting in underdeveloped ears. Literally it translates to "little ear." Just a bit of my story.

Yeah it took awhile to work up the nerve but I needed to.

Hey bruh, I also have microtia. Do you have it on both ears? Have you considered surgery? I have done 3-4 surgeries a few years ago.

Just realized it's probably not free in the US.

Oh hey I'm sorry I didn't see this don't get notified anymore. Yes I still consider surgery if it would've been better. The option to go all out or not. I didn't. In the end though, even though I still think about it often.. it's what you think about yourself. Because even if we had normal looks, we'd look for flaws that we perceive. I still go over the ifs and if nots don't get me wrong but I have to live with it.. hope you're well, thanks for the comment.
