Women draw pictures of their breasts to highlight complicated relationships with their bodies

Ask most woman how she feels about her breasts and the answer will likely be 'it's complicated'. 

While we may see their uses, sometimes they get in the way, sometimes they hurt and quite often we're not happy with them for various (quite probably imagined) reasons. 

Of course, it's never even as black and white as the above emotions, there are a plethora of feelings that many a woman has over her lifetime towards her breasts. 

New York Magazine's The Cut is fully aware of this and to highlight this they enlisted the help of many women of all ages in New York and asked them to draw a picture of their breasts and get them to write one sentence describing how they feel about them. 

Unsurprisingly, the responses were incredibly varied, humorous at times and also very insightful and inspirational about what we as women deal with on a daily basis but also the challenges of breast feeding, and stories of cancer survival too.
