“At times, it’s hard to accept my height. Most of the people I encounter, both men and women, are taller than myself. I used to feel that by being short people wouldn’t notice me.”
“In middle school, I remember that my peers kept growing taller and bigger than me. I felt stagnant in my vertical growth and I remember that was the first time that I felt something was ‘wrong’ with me.”
“My body is short in stature, but mighty in width. It is great at building strength and muscle, but sometimes doesn’t allow me to reach the cereal on top of the refrigerator. It’s a body that’s durable and I’m going to make the best of every inch of it.”
“No one is perfect. Everybody struggles with something that they have to learn to accept. I use the philosophy that if you accept who you are, your insecurities will become quiet.”
