Do you struggle with......

Body image issues....type?

My parents are tall. Pop 6'5"...my momma's 5'9".

My sister and I 6' even.

In part, the gender influenced nature of development; I was a fully developed 6' tall woman in the sixth grade.

A package for a 13 year old mindset to carry.

Folding myself in a desk ...in the back of a classroom.

Add to that wreckage the fact that ... oftentimes beside me ..is my exact double.

A societal circus attraction. Rarely would we mingle in the same space.

Becoming more an more comfortable in my skin ..baby steps...

If only I could rock high heels other than Halloween.

What kills me about this is that we are making a big deal out of literal inches. If you don't have a genetic disorder then really the range we are talking about for "normal humans" is like 4'"10 or so to 6'4"? I mean yes a small number of "normal" people fall outside that range, but the vast majority is in there.

I just can't understand why it would make any difference to anyone what someones height is. Its such a weird thing to base any kind of decision, feelings or perceptions on. Its like judging someone based on their foot size, or how big their hands are ... its just an odd physical quirk that you are the size you are and I am the size I am.

People are weird who would stare or treat anyone oddly because of something like this.
