I Hated Being Tall And Curly, But I Turned It Into My Strength

For most of my life, I hated being tall and curly. I was called poodle, a sheep, Jackson 5, a giraffe… At that time, I couldn‘t see my hair and height as a strength or something that made me special. No matter how hard I tried, I simply couldn’t hide.

As a 1.87cm height girl I can relate this, I felt really depressed everytime I tried to get some clothes or in high school years, osh, they were just awful . Right now, I just ended understandign that this is me, and I can't change it, so I'm OK. Also, It gives me a reason to always wear a dress everyday, that let me show off my figure haha! I didnt know "tall n curly" comics, checking them right now!

I was always the opposite. I'm 5'0' (152.4 cm) and I stopped growing at age 12, while my friends continued to grow. I held out hope until I was 15, then I finally faced the fact that I was as tall as I was going to get. I long ago accepted my height. I know it's just part of who I am.
