When I was younger I tried to make myself look shorter. At first when I was in primary school I was jelous of my tinier friends... They were so cute. People were lifting and holding them in their arms and it looked fun. I felt giant. Also at the same time I did team gymnastic and one year I didn't qualify for the team like all of my friends did and it was obviously the "first team". Nobody ever told me why but in my mind it was because I was too tall. I was one head taller than others in that team and because it's also an aesthetic sport, it would make the team unbalanced.

Eventually boys came in the game... I was taller than all nice boys and I hated it. In particular in all discos where the dance was slow... I tried to have bad posture on purpose to look as short as possible.

Until I started to do modelling I thought that I'm never going to be able to use high heels. That I'm too tall to enjoy beautiful shoes. (And in the "model world" I was hoping that I would be even taller!)

It would have been nice to know at a young age that one day my height could and will be my strenght which I really like. At festival concerts I can see well over all the heads. I don't need chairs to get to the top closet. Etc. Now I'm proud and very grateful of my every centimeter. I just wanted to tell you how I struggled for many years with my height, if this can give hope to some who are in same situation. ?
