Here’s your fucking breast cancer awareness.

diebythedrop-deactivated2017022

This was during my 35 day radiation treatment back in 2013. Breast cancer isn’t sexy. It’s not about saving the boobies. It’s not about no bra day, which is really just an excuse for women to post sexy pics of their nipples pressing through their clothes. It’s scars, nausea, pain, bald heads, burnt skin, and broken hearts.

If this doesn’t make you “aware” then I don’t know what will.

Does it make you uncomfortable? It should.

Tbh this topic makes me really mad... Yes, I like bigger men. It's not my fault I don't want to feel like I'm going to break a skinny beanpole boy in half when I hug him. I get hurt so bad by people I love because I LOVE big men.. Well they can get over it. I'm a big girl who needs a bigger man. ✊🏻💜
