The Struggle Of Being A 6 Foot Tall Giant

The Annoyance Of Being Extremely Tall

The Struggle Of Being A 6 Foot Tall Giant

Now for those of you who are vertically challenged, you may be thinking, "There isn't any struggle of being very tall at all, you can reach the top shelf and everything!" Let me tell you that it's not all that it's cracked up to be.

First of all, finding clothes that fit you is a huge pain because if you're as skinny, as I am, they're either too baggy or big or too long or too short to actually fit correctly at all. Because of this, I am now forced to special order jeans that have the correct length and width to be able to fit me comfortably.

The other downside to being a relative giant is that most people tend to use my height for their own selfish benefit. First of all, how dare they?! Second of all, really?! Using my height just so you don't have to make the extra effort to get a small ladder or something to reach the top shelf of your kitchen?! I mean, have some respect, good God!

Also, beds are never made so that you can fit your entire body comfortably onto it and actually stretch out. I am forced to contort my body into a ball just so my entire body fits on my bed. You have got to be kidding me!! You can't make even one bed that is adequate for a 6'4" human being! I am so disappointed in you, mattress companies! The fact that I am forced to contort my body to be able to fit onto my bed is honestly an outrage.

Now going along with the annoyingly small beds are all of the back cramps. They are so annoying and they don't ever seem to go away no matter what I do to relieve them. For once, just once, it would be nice to wake up in the morning and not have to crack every single bone in my back just so that I am able to go about my day and not be hugely uncomfortable. But no. That is a necessity that I have to deal with and it is entirely uncalled for.

Now, seeing as I am hugely tall, you would think that I would have a large vehicle. You would also be incorrect with that statement. But as to why they can't make small cars where my head is not bumping the top of the car is beyond me.

For once. Just once. I would like to be able to get into a small vehicle and not smash my head on the ceiling of the car. It's kinda frustrating, and I'm so over it.

Oh, the last thing, please, car companies, I am begging you: make smaller cars that I don't have to contort my body just so that I can get in the car. Make small cars that it is actually possible for me to not break my back just to get in to drive to the store for my dinner or to go tho the movies with my friend's it's extremely rude to us tall people and extremely frustrating as we can't have any car we want we are limited if we want to be comfortable to giant SUVs to drive.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
