Tally Tallerton
I'm growing disenchanted with being tall. Not that I was supremely enchanted with it, but I didn't mind it and generally preferred it. Recently, though, I've been feeling bad about it. It basically comes down to the idea that, if I am hanging around someone shorter than me, as most females are, then I feel as though I am looming protectively, or threateningly. Or both. I feel an implied violence in my height. And I'm not a big fan of violence.
