random thought

when i was in middle school and for most of high school, i took a sense of identity from the fact that i was small. i was short, flat-chested, and had tiny feet. turns out i was just a tremendous late bloomer - i didn't even stop growing in height until after my first year of college. so i had to make a little adjustment

It's still hard for me to think of myself as attractive.

i have the same problem a lot of the time.

of course on a rational level you must realize that you are a huge cutie.

i'm not sure but i find thinking in this way a really interesting concept (as well as reading your post, interesting i mean, and kinda cool).

i'm just tall and gain no weight.

it is a bit easier to guess what your "thing" is - i'm sure that whether you like it or not people often think of you as the tall, skinny guy.

being tall has always been interesting to me. it seems nice, because you can see over people and things and reach stuff, that sort of thing. but it also means that you poke out and in general people notice you a bit more, which isn't bad exactly but also isn't necessarily what you want all the time. i wonder if it's like me as a twin - i think i would have been almost completely overlooked socially growing up, except i had this remarkable fact about me that people found interesting. so i was kind of under the radar but not quite forgotten.
