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.

On summer break from high school I was involved in a jet ski accident, broke my back. I had 2 vertebrae removed which had left me with a slight hunchback. I still look in the mirror and notice that I'm a little off, but I won't let it interfere with me dressing up! 😊

Wear those heels! Anytime you want!

@forestgirl Did they insert new vertebrae or just fuse the gap?

@Punxi Aside from the noticeable posture change, I have a long scar running across my spine. So I had a tattoo to help disguise it
