#tallgirlproblems

oh, how I love the internet. found this entire tumblr supporting tall women. granted, many of those who write in to the tumblr are shorter than I am, I completely identify with so many of the stories and 'tall girl problems'.

Ironically, I've always wanted to be 6', yet it has taken me a little while to be totally comfortable with my height. I'm sure that some of my height issues were compounded when I found out that I was passed over for a lead role in a ballet near the end of high school because there was no guy tall enough to partner me. (Kali - my dance history may be part of the reason I'm not willing to date guys shorter than me?)

 
between 6th and 7th grade, I had giant growth spurt - but first my feet grew from a 9-11. lets just say that the local shoe store did not have girls sketchers in my size. 

yep. done

story of last week. I really wanted a pair of the close-fitting, cropped running pants, yet every pair hit mid-knee, not below my knee :(

every. single. time. I visit NYC. so glad I live in a city where natives don't use umbrellas.

I wouldn't say I have no athletic capabilities...but yeah. hand-eye coordination is not my thing.

tights save everything / I make my own clothing that fits. 

true story: family road trip consisted of 62 hours in the back seat of a suburban and I messed up my right knee enough to require two sessions of PT.

unless I wear my awesome new heels that force me to walk in slow motion. It's a very strange sensation.

it's happend. more than once. this one is newer though, so I'm still not as used to it.

this one happens more than I'd like - it's one of my least favorite aspects of being tall / wearing heels.

and the exit row seats don't recline. #firstworldproblem for sure.

I could go on and on and on - so many appropriate #tallgirlproblems :)
