Confusion Sets In

Sydney wore her custom coat hanger rings at night, and despite starting the process of lengthening her neck late compared to the Kayan women, soon she could see the results. She recalls some of her friends at school calling her by the most logical name they could find—Giraffe Girl. Still, her neck wasn’t long enough to grab too much attention.

Sometimes, when we choose to stay true to ourselves, people around us may not accept us for that. After a few years of using her DIY rings, Sydney stopped and wondered if that was what she wanted to do. This allowed her to restart the process, only this time; she was sure of what she wanted.
