little by little, the bird builds its nest

she a flattie

I've always been insecure about my boobs. I'm really flat, like, super flat. In this day and age of social media where everyone's making up these absurd "boob challenges" (i.e when they balance things on their triple Ds), it’s hard not to feel a little self-conscious every now and then.

It makes dating tough. At the back of my mind, there’s always that little voice telling me that I'm not the ideal type. You know, what if they see them and say "Oh shit they're too small" and lost interest? And beyond dating, it’s about body image too. I always think I'm not curvy enough so some outfits don't look good on me.

Lately while watching Drag Race, I realized some of them don't wear breast plates together with their outfits - and they still look so good. It's funny how I've been watching Drag Race for years and only just have this realization. They slay these looks with flat chests and zero hesitation, and that really lifted me up. You don't need a big chest to look stunning, you just need confident.

It's an everyday battle, sure. But knowing someone out there is rocking their look flat chest and all? And that there are people out there who prefer my petite build? That gives me hope. That gives me the strength to embrace myself, too.
