I’m a tall girl. And I don’t necessarily see it as much as an advantage as others would. I can reach the top shelf, I can run faster and I’m supposedly “model height”. People say my long legs are beautiful and and compliment me well. People say they couldn’t see me as a shorter person because they have gotten used to my height and it defines who I am (somewhat). But for me, I’m not a fan of my height. Every time we visit family and people say I’m tall my mum goes “she has to stop growing. Being too tall isn’t nice. You will never find a husband taller than you”. I see comments all over the Internet talking about how people would never want a tall girl. I’m taller than guys in my year group and it’s become a thing to be “taller than *my name*” and everyone celebrates once they are. I find my height as almost a disadvantage. Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful for what god has given me. But I don’t necessarily have to love it. I’m taller than most of my male idols and that makes me feel,,,,well,,,as though I’m too tall. Most guys are 5’9+ and I’m taller than that. I love myself. I really do. But I’m not sure when I will start loving my height. There’s a huge stigma around tall girls not being “it” and not gonna lie, it’s gotten to me. And I feel like I’m

Not it. I could only dream of getting a guy taller than me. But then our children will face the same thing I am right now. Being “too tall”. But is there even a thing of being too tall? How tall is too tall? And why do we have to subject it to being “too tall”. I would love to be a few inches shorter. Maybe if I was a few inches shorter, people would love me for me and would stop judging me based off my height. Thank you 💜
