When I’m fifty-three
My tits will be free
To chat with my knees
If they so please
I’ve tried elastic and boning to hold the girls up
But all the scaffolding in the world would not be enough
My belly is wavy with numerout pleats,
There may be stripes too (I can’t see underneath)
I used to cinch everything in,
Thought shapewear was a win.
But I couldn’t breathe or bend
So gave up on it in the end
I gave up trying to look like all the other ladies did
And started to embrace what before I always hid
Now that I’m passing fifty my tits will finally be free
To have a little chat with my once far distant knees.
( i used to have a really beautiful body, n/k . and i’m kinda sad i’ve aged and sagged etc. i was lucky??, so many people have felt sad their whole life ( which makes me angry, no one should be sad ) and i feel kinda ashamed even if i was never judgey once, i was just oblivious to my own body
and another thing
when i think of my loved ones i don’t think of bodies, of course i love them but a body is just the vehicle for their beautiful spirit, I treasure all wear and tear gained along the way in life , they are badges of honour on a life well lived )
All of this is so normal though, even at younger ages or consistently lower weights and with or without children. Have you actually seen every other AFAB body in the world?
Also it’s about what’s normalised. Whose bodies are highly visible/who do we see most? Models, actors, athletes. Do they select harshly for insane levels of fitness or impossibly high beauty standards (and possibly surgery or airbrushing)? Yes, yes they do. https://m.youtube.com/shorts/CsqTvLbcDB8
Whether you get highly visible stretch marks and how much boobs sag (because they all eventually will) can even depend on how dense breast tissue is or how resilient your skin is.
There was a song I was going to link called “I love my body” from the Netflix show Bigmouth and didn’t because there is a lot of nudity in the video and the show is crude… but it really shows a lot of realistic variations in women’s bodies and presents it as a positive or neutral thing.
Insecurity
I got floppy saggy titties
Tiger stripes on my belly
But I’m a childfree thirty-three
So why don’t I look like those other ladies
I used to be quite the fatty
I know this intellectually
But my wrinkly boobies
Don’t look like the other ladies
He says I’m hot
But I feel like a blob
My tits will be down to my knees
By the time I’m fifty-three
I like titties /
All shapes and sizes /
As long as I /
Can put them in my mouth.
Huehuehue
Boobies

Those other ladies are over thinking their imperfections like any other woman. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Logically I know this, emotionally less so 😂😭
Please listen to Tim Minchin’s song “Confessions”.
I’m already a fan haha, I LOVE Minchin!
You’re beautiful ❤️
Thank you! 🥹💜
