Having Saggy Boobs Is Normal And Totally Fine

You shouldn't feel any shame for not having a perky chest.

Having Saggy Boobs Is Normal And Totally Fine
Ivan Obolensky

As someone who has "saggy titties" as I like to call them, this life is tough. Or was tough, even more so when I was younger. I started puberty pretty early, so let's say around 8 to 9-years-old. By nine, I had to start wearing a training bra because my breasts were starting to develop already! Life was coming at me pretty fast whether I liked it or not.

Now, let's fast forward to middle school, also known as probably the most annoying and embarrassing time of my entire life (surprisingly, high school comes just a close second, but that's a whole 'nother day). I was still going through puberty for the most part, and not only was I getting acne, my chest was growing like crazy. Finding a bra that fit me was becoming a tedious task with each month that passed because each bra was more ill-fitting than the last.

Unfortunately, as this was going on, I was bullied for this. Other kids would make fun of me and ask me if I was wearing a bra, week after week. They would taunt me and say things like "Did you get a bra yet?" and "Do your titties hang low, do they hang down to the floor?" This was enough to make me have insecurities about whether my breasts were "acceptable" to society or not, and I struggled with that for at least a few years.

Today, I am a 23-year-old woman. My chest is still saggy, so nothing has changed. The only difference between my middle school self and now is that today I have absolutely zero f***s to give, for lack of a better term. Just last Thursday, I made the out-of-the-blue decision to not wear a bra to campus with my outfit. I donned a black sleeveless bodysuit, a tan skirt, knee-high Rick and Morty socks, and black canvas sneakers; with no bra in sight. By doing this, I was essentially testing myself to see if I really did not give a crap about what people would think of me, a big chested girl, not wearing a bra.

SPOILER ALERT: I didn't, and I still don't!

I still do not have many bras, only because I still am not 100% sure on my bra size... not yet. This is definitely not to say that I've forgone bras forever but it's a nice feeling going braless for practically the first time in my entire life, doing what I want and not caring at all about what others think. Not constantly wondering "Gosh, what if people make fun of me? What if someone makes a snide comment about my chest?" and simply walking around without a single care in the world. It’s truly one of the best feelings ever, and I hope every girl struggling with accepting their saggy breasts reaches this point soon because once you get there, there is absolutely no going back.

You ever see one of those split V-neck dresses in a store and think you couldn't wear it because of your chest? I got some advice for you, girlfriend: BUY IT. PUT IT ON. WEAR IT AND HIT THE TOWN. Your confidence will soar to supreme heights. Your sagging tits are beautiful and you don't need to change a thing. Embrace 'em and cherish 'em because they are yours and no matter what anyone thinks, they are amazing.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
