sometimes I wish I could turn this into a video log but I think if my mom heard me speaking to myself she's think I was madder than she already thinks I am.
I think the because problem in my life is my height.
Despite the IB and social politics and everything, I think the biggest problem lies with my height.
My height affects me so much that I realise I have never once felt on top of the world
and I always feel lost and unacknowledged because I'm shadowed by tall people.
and it feels like crap, because being so close to the ground, I get the feeling that something is dragging me to the centre of the Earth, something that isn't gravity, and it's really crazy because I'm trying trying trying to be straight and be tall and feel like I deserve a space in the world.
I get nightmares because of my height, I feel that I'm so short that even if I were to disappear off the face of this world no one would realise because even now they can't see me anyway.
I don't even know if this really is the case.
and there's so much stress in being short.
I worry about the load of my bag, I wonder if my growth is stunted because of the load I carry
I worry about my future, because given my meagre mattributes I don't see how I can survive in the real world without any height
and really, with all the tall people in the world, who's gonna cast a short dwarf as a lead anyway if they have someone taller and definitely skinnier and prettier to do the job
I worry about what I eat; maybe I'm not growing upwards because I'm eating the wrong food, or eating too much, or not eating enough, and what really is enough anyway
I worry about my width, because being so short, you always look like a stump unless you're dead ass skinny
I worry about how people view me
you can't take a dwarf seriously no one can
no one takes me seriously and in school it's fine but what if I start working (if I get work) and no one is listening to what I'm really saying?
Respect as well. it's so hard to earn respect from people who look down at you.
at least it's not on me, not yet. but it's so much easier to give the "wtv" face to someone short.
screw being skinny, screw looking gorgeous, screw being a genius.
when I'm tall, I'm invincible.
