Four-Foot-Ten … Wishing I Was Six Feet Tall

This is how I feel about my hair---it's kinky, curly, and "permy-looking," as you put it. I've always struggled with it, and it doesn't help when other people say, "Oh, you're so lucky to have curls."

As a tall woman (I am 6ft) I can honestly report that we go through the exact same problems. I have a terrible finding clothing that fits, people are constantly telling me I am tall, like I haven't noticed yet, and I look at smaller women and wonder what it must be like not to hit their heads on light fixtures, or have to squeeze into plane and car seats. The grass is always greener... Great writing though!
