Being Tall

I am almost 6 foot tall. I am probably not as tall as some of you, but I've been asked, "How's the atmosphere like up there?" "Wow, your head must be full of hot air, that's the only reason you'd grow so much."

Well, you know what? I'm sick of it! If you're jealous, don't give me crap! Just say, "Wow, I wish I was tall, too!" That would make my day, instead of me pondering over what you said!

Not only that, but my friends all weigh about 120. They're all about 5'6". I am six foot and weight 140. Do I feel fat? Yes!!!!!!! I hate stepping on the scale to see the stupid hand swing over to 140.

But in the end, I just think that it gives me an advantage, even though some days I hate it.
