WARNING: Do not read this journal entry unless you don't mind me picking myself apart even if you think I shouldn't be! And if you're going to be offended by my lack of self-confidence and talking about my appearance, don't get all, "Oh my god! Haley is just trying to make people tell her how.... blah blah". I'm only typing here because, after all, it is MY journal so I should be able to write whatever I want whenever I want.
Quite a few responses to that last entry, huh? But apparently people (who will not be name-d) act like I'm getting on their nerves about this whole, 'I hate the way I look thing' but you know what? I don't care. I can have my own opinions about the way I look and if you disagree, fine. I'm just ranting about my problems and my current obsession at the moment. And unless somebody, like a modeling agent or very attractive person, tells me I'm not half bad, I'm not going to believe it. Because you know what? There is NO WAY I could ever be considered beautiful. So nobody would ever tell me anything like that. I know. Sure, I might be pretty but short people can never be really physically beautiful. They can just be cute and then when they get old they're just short and old.
Do you have any idea how degrading it is to be asked if you're in seventh grade?! By an adult???!!! My friend (who's a tad shorter than me) was walking down the hall to her class and our principal stopped her and asked what she was doing in the high school. He wanted to know if the elementary kids had come to the high school for the day! It's embarrassing and upsetting! It also sucks when you walk down the hall and people put their hands up measuring how much shorter you are than them. Because they KNOW it makes you feel self conscious.
And if you think about it, there are NO short women at ALL who have made it big. Because women HAVE to be perfect. There are MEN, of course, who have made it being below average height but that's because for some reason, men don't have to look good. They just have to show up and everyone's like "Oh, it's a man! Yay for men!" Gag me.
How do you explain all of the tall people having boyfriends before they could walk? (Ok, that was a total exaggeration.) Just look at the world today. Magazines and crap. A short person, according to Teen Vogue magazine is 5'6". 5'6" people. Oh, those poor 5'6"-ers. Whatever will they do being so, so, so, short? So I ask you, is there a place in this world for short people other than being trampled on in the hallway and fitting into really small places? I think NOT.
