Strike Says: Love Your Boobs

Most people in this world desire something they simply cannot have, whether it be a different eye color, a bigger home, a faster metabolism, or endless youth. In my experience, and I’m sure many others can relate, I have always wished for big, voluptuous boobs. Growing up, I wanted so badly to be that girl, considering guys typically idolize the slim thick body with an hourglass shape, cute bubble butt, and of course, large perky boobs. Plenty of the young women I was surrounded by felt the same, but as I matured, I questioned what “perfect” boobs even were. Why do people find them so intriguing anyway? After all, your breasts are literally just sacks of body tissue. As girls develop into young teens and, eventually, young adults, most realize that many full-bosomed individuals want nothing more than to have smaller boobs, and vice versa.
I consider it fair to say that many of us itty-bitty-titty girls never saw the perspective of larger-breasted women. I was once friends with a girl who, in my opinion, had a fabulous pair of boobies, but all she ever did was talk about her longing to get a breast reduction. "Why would you ever get rid of them?” I always asked, and every time, she would begin to compile an endless list of why she hated them. “I want yours, they are a perfect size,” she said. I would think to myself, “THE PERFECT SIZE????” She wanted what I had, and I wanted what she had; we both desired something genetically unlikely.
Even so, heavy-breasted women often say that gravity is not on their side, and they are constantly receiving unwanted attention. But younger me would never be able to fathom how attention from guys could be unwanted. Well, maturity teaches you that: one, boobs are not the only thing putting you in the spotlight, and two, attention from guys is very much UNWANTED a lot of the time. The same goes for women with smaller boobs; some fashion pieces highlight their chest, giving them unwanted attention. We just cannot win.
Women as a whole should build each other up and encourage one another to love every inch of ourselves, especially our boobs! I mean, honestly, all breasts serve the same purpose anyway—nourishing our offspring. Why exactly did so many girls and I spend a ridiculous amount of time craving different boobs when essentially, they all do the same thing? I will never be able to answer that question. The dangerous idea that we should compare ourselves to other women is toxic and stupid because there is only one YOU. Everyone is unique, just like your boobs! No one can control the way their body is designed at birth, so the only thing you can do is learn to love every part of yourself.
Nonetheless, there will always be times when we look in the mirror and hope to see something different. When this feeling takes over, it is important to remember that while you may dislike something, such as your boobs, another beautiful female is staring at herself, wishing for a bust just like yours. You have to learn to love your boobs just the way they are. Big boobs are cool, and small boobs are cool too—all boobs are cool. So, love your boobs because they are pretty awesome.
