It's really just a short, short world


I’ve been thinking a lot about how the world wasn’t meant for me, a lot lately. I find myself hunched over a lot, to reach the things made for the average sized person.  It’s frustrating because I’m tired of the lower back pain caused from bending over.

I have no idea what the world would be like if it were made for my size, as I’ve never experienced it. The only time I ever felt small in public was when I visited Holland on a school trip when I was 17.

A friend of mine, who is six-feet, and I found these over-sized deck chairs in Amsterdam and decided to sit in them. It was a weird feeling being small for once.



As a part of my program, we are required to complete a six-week work placement in March. I decided to go to St. John’s, NFLD, where I know one person in the city.

I’m currently looking for a place to live and had to turn down a nice place because the room was too small for my size. The bed was in a corner and up against both walls, not giving any space for hanging feet. I don’t usually fit on beds because my feet hang out.

Youtuber Paul Stansik made a video/rap about how he desires tall blonde girls. 



“Shout out to your parents for the great genetics, because if we end up having kids they’ll excel at athletics… I hope that didn’t sound too forward, but I want my future children to be good at sports if they choose to do so.” That is my favourite line in the entire song.

The video touches on tall girl problems such as, intimidating shorter guys, lack of legroom on public transportation and always being asked about volleyball.
