In light of October being Breast Cancer Awareness month, I keep seeing different post and articles to spread awareness for the phrase "save the boobies" or "save the ta-tas"
My point of this article is instead of saving the boobs, let's save the woman.
As someone who has watched first hand and seen breast cancer engulf a person and even kill one of my close family members. I know what you're thinking "wow she doesn't care about breast cancer" but that's not the point of this.
My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was a kid, and it was the worst thing to ever happen to our family. Watching one of the strongest women I know lose her spark, and her strength through treatments and what seemed like endless nights of her sleeping in the recliner, Cancer destroyed my family. Until my mom beat Cancer. Our family has God to thank for my mother's life and her recovery, but the battle never ends.
Some are fortunate enough to win, but others not so much. No matter what extra steps they take to win the battle. That's something even years later I won't understand. It doesn't matter, boobs or no boobs. Cancer doesn't care.
As a young woman, I get the whole womanhood thing that I'm sure others will be outraged that I'm jumping to take away, but I can't apologize for wanting to see someone's smile or hear someone's laugh over seeing their double ds.
