The Art of Being Tall🕴️

It's been a while huh?😞
It's been so long, in fact, that while I was wasting away, trying to get through school, I thought i'd forgotten what it's like to put my thoughts on paper. 😅
So anyways, I guess this is just to remind myself that I still have this.🤧🤧
I woke up today thinking about how it feels to be tall🕴️. I thought about how untouchable I felt, and how being tall was like an armour for me.
And then I thought about how tall could be more than an adjective and become a feeling🧘.
According to research (which I conducted in my head on my way to school this morning 😅) it's one thing to be tall and feel tall. I'll give an example.
When I was still in secondary school I was going through a phase where I felt so small and insignificant, that I couldn't see anything worth looking at in myself. I figured if I laughed when people picked on me, it would get better🙍🏾‍♀️. It obviously didn't. But I digress. I was like one of the tallest girls at school but people didn't really notice ( aside from assembly of course 😂) because I felt small and maybe because I wanted to disappear. Maybe. I liked being the class clown with my home girl Matre😂❤️. But you get my point 😅
On the other hand, there are lotsssss of people who are short and of average height, who walk and talk and act like they're ten feet tall and covered in godly glitter. It stings honestly😐, to feel short next to someone who probably won't be able to see the whole world when I'm standing right in front of them.
They're tall. Maybe not on the outside, but definitely on the inside.
I guess I'm saying tall is synonymous to self confidence.
And it has less words no? Easier to say to kids, like "Be tall 📢!!!!" I guess that's where the whole "Stand Tall and proud" comes from.
So like I said, I woke up today feeling tall😌.
I still feel tall.( I guess I wake up everyday feeling tall, because that secondary school phase of getting picked on was destroyed a while ago. I digress again.😅) Like I can you know, do anything and all that stuff😙
So I guess what I'm really trying to say is that being tall isn't really about your height. Its more about what you think of yourself and how you like get other people to see you👍🏾.
And maybe all I just said is complete nonsense and I probably feel this way because I'm finally getting used to all the weight I gained.😂
But it's worth a thought isn't it? I mean I'd be damned if i see a small girl with this mega huge personality and not tell her how tall she is.
Basically, all I'm saying is
Be tall everyone!!!❣️



P.s. I'm still amazing at this 🤩

Living in a Pandemic Society

It's the 14th day of my isolation. To be honest, I never really expected to live in the midst of a pandemic. You know how there are...
