Height

Too long
Too tall
God these legs go on forever
Towering over my friends
Disregarding the boys shorter than myself

"How's the weather up there?"

Oh. Ha ha. You're SO funny, because I haven't heard that before.

"You're so tall."

Really? Oh am I? Why thank you for point that out to me I was under the impression that I was a petite 5'1".

"It must be hard to find a boyfriend."

Unfortunately, you are correct. Dating a girl is easy because their usually shorter than myself and I find it adorable. Yet, a taller,more "manly" guy would defiantly be on my list-of things I can't find.

"I wish I was taller."

Do you now, you want to buy pants that MUST be long otherwise they'd be considered capris? Or unable to fit into cute tops because your frame is too long? Or how about being unable to stretch your arm without accidentally hitting someone in the face?  Or hear the unoriginal remarks of ignorant people?

Can I just STOP.
I hate being tall. Sometimes I love it, but then I see all of these cute, petite girls and think "I'll never be like them."
I've looked into leg shortening surgery.
It's expensive, but after plenty of research I believe myself to want it.
I don't care if they don't agree. It's not their concern, so don't interfere. Or get in my way.

All my life I've been "too tall" or "too loud" or "too angry".

For once, just once I want to be

Just enough.
