Embracing Height, The Unique Journey of a Tall Woman

I first noticed I was taller than everyone like in preschool. I was

introduced to people and I was like taller than everyone at my preschool so

I was like huh something's different. I never really had a single growth spurt

where I like grew a lot. I grew about like four to five inches a year so I was

like consistently getting taller. I've always been so proud of Macy. She's

always taken to her height very well just always was never one of those kids

that scrunched over or leaned over tried to hide her height so I'm very proud of

her and excited for her to be recognized for her height and for her beauty. My

husband was 6'5 when I met him. My son is now 6'4 and a quarter and I'm 5'7 so I

guess there's some kind of gene in there that gives her that tallness but

everybody's tall except for me. Being tall in general like I hit my head on a

lot of stuff. Cars are really difficult. My legs are too long for it and like

other cars I'm just like man-spreading just to fit in. If I walk into a regular store nothing will fit me because they don't really

make clothes in my size so especially for like pants like leggings and stuff I

have to get them custom-made. My sweatshirts and hoodies are all like I

think this one's like an XXL so that they're the sleeves are long enough

because if I get them in like a medium then the sleeves are like too short

I was never bullied for like my legs I was more bullied because I was taller

than everyone and they I guess they didn't know how to process that so

around like sophomore year on it I just stopped caring what people thought of me

and once I just stopped caring I wasn't affected by anything. The pros of having long legs is that you're like you don't really fit into

the category of like normal you're kind of like unique you have something

different and people are like drawn to it almost. She's gonna realize more and more how the fact that she is taller is gonna

benefit her more. I hope that tall women can see that the height is a gift and

that you shouldn't be ashamed that you're tall you should really embrace it
