there’s some unity in being able to find other short people, or being a part of a “short squad,” but then there’s also my younger cousin who is outgrowing me. the pains of not growing are real sometimes. it is easier to make yourself taller than trying to make yourself shorter though, so I am thankful for that
My sister, my mom, my aunts, my cousins, and my grandfather are/were all really tall; my dad is average height and so was his father before him. I feel like I was meant to be tall though and that I probably somehow stunted my growth because I have a long torso and short legs like a dachshund. It’s really hard being me. Hoping for tall powerful children someday
sure reaching stuff is difficult and people literally have to look down on me but also kids think i’m cool and approachable (until they outgrow me at age 10)
even the smallest things may not seem to matter in the moment, but when you fast forward a bit, you may be trying to grasp the memory without any luck. writing things down, taking pictures, collecting, etc. is all so important.
my parents used to judge me and think I was weird for talking to myself when I was younger. I’m sure they still do, but they’re less vocal about it as they used to be. for context, I’m an only child, so talking to myself was nice for when I was bored or whatnot. it’s also helpful for sorting through my thoughts. it’s good to get things out when I don’t feel like talking to anyone in particular. I like to think of it as my own personal podcast.
I’m so glad I found this app. I was looking for a place where I can share more about myself without feeling judged by the people around me. now people can feel a connection towards me being truly myself instead of the mask I’ve been conditioned to put on for others. I imagine handing someone I’ve just met a paper with a link to this profile on it as a fun experiment
