The Struggle Of Being A 6 Foot Tall Giant

The Annoyance Of Being Extremely Tall

The Struggle Of Being A 6 Foot Tall Giant

Now for those of you who are vertically challenged, you may be thinking, "There isn't any struggle of being very tall at all, you can reach the top shelf and everything!" Let me tell you that it's not all that it's cracked up to be.

First of all, finding clothes that fit you is a huge pain because if you're as skinny, as I am, they're either too baggy or big or too long or too short to actually fit correctly at all. Because of this, I am now forced to special order jeans that have the correct length and width to be able to fit me comfortably.

The other downside to being a relative giant is that most people tend to use my height for their own selfish benefit. First of all, how dare they?! Second of all, really?! Using my height just so you don't have to make the extra effort to get a small ladder or something to reach the top shelf of your kitchen?! I mean, have some respect, good God!

Also, beds are never made so that you can fit your entire body comfortably onto it and actually stretch out. I am forced to contort my body into a ball just so my entire body fits on my bed. You have got to be kidding me!! You can't make even one bed that is adequate for a 6'4" human being! I am so disappointed in you, mattress companies! The fact that I am forced to contort my body to be able to fit onto my bed is honestly an outrage.

Now going along with the annoyingly small beds are all of the back cramps. They are so annoying and they don't ever seem to go away no matter what I do to relieve them. For once, just once, it would be nice to wake up in the morning and not have to crack every single bone in my back just so that I am able to go about my day and not be hugely uncomfortable. But no. That is a necessity that I have to deal with and it is entirely uncalled for.

Now, seeing as I am hugely tall, you would think that I would have a large vehicle. You would also be incorrect with that statement. But as to why they can't make small cars where my head is not bumping the top of the car is beyond me.

For once. Just once. I would like to be able to get into a small vehicle and not smash my head on the ceiling of the car. It's kinda frustrating, and I'm so over it.

Oh, the last thing, please, car companies, I am begging you: make smaller cars that I don't have to contort my body just so that I can get in the car. Make small cars that it is actually possible for me to not break my back just to get in to drive to the store for my dinner or to go tho the movies with my friend's it's extremely rude to us tall people and extremely frustrating as we can't have any car we want we are limited if we want to be comfortable to giant SUVs to drive.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

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.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
