For All The "Tall Girls": 8 Struggles Tall Girls Know to Be True
Huffington Post

I am tall.

I have always been tall.

I will always be tall.

Most of the time I love and accept myself the way I am, but sometimes there are disadvantages to being above average in the height department.

1. Pants

Pants are hard. Finding ones that fit both your length and waist is a real challenge, and it's a pain. Headaches. Pants, you give me headaches.

2. Shoes

No store ever has your size in the shoe you want. Ever. #zappos

3. Dating

Needless to say, this can be super annoying. When you see a guy that you think is cute, and then discover he's actually a lot shorter then you, it can be a real damper on your mood. Also, whenever you see a shorter girl with a super tall guy, it's kind of like, "I wish y'all the best but...there's so many waisted inches..." However, sometimes a taller girl with a shorter guy is also kind of adorable.

4. Kids Suck

When you were younger, other kids often pointed to your height and teased you for being a giant. You sometimes still think about that today, and often catch yourself slouching, but you're beautiful. Rock that height.

5. Heels

They make your legs look amazing. But they also make you look eight feet tall. #thestruggleisreal

6. Literal Headaches

It's not just in the movies; I hit my head, and other limbs, on things all the time. I think I just forget how tall I am, and constantly bang my head on the obstacles in my path.

7. Legs

Sorry, my legs aren't shaved. They are three feet long. That's a lot of landscape. It takes forever. I do not have time to do it everyday. #sorrynotsorry

8. Assumptions

Sometimes people assume things about you simply because you are tall. Like, every tall woman plays basketball, or perhaps that taller women are more masculine. Assumptions suck. They aren't who you are, and they are not what define you. You are more than how many feet tall you are, or your clothing size.

Via bookishandawesome




I am who I am. Who I am is a tall women. I love who I am, and I wouldn't trade my life for any other. Being tall can be a struggle, but it is also an advantage. Be true to who you are, and if that's a tall, strong, independent women, then embrace it.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
