My name is Maxine and I'm 30 years old. I'm tall, standing at six feet tall, and my personality is often described as fiery. I am a woman with a lot of anger inside me, mostly directed towards shorter women who seem to have it easier in life than I do.
I grew up in a small town where everyone was average height or shorter. It made me feel like an outsider, like something was wrong with me just because of my size. As I got older, the anger inside me only grew stronger as I realized how much harder it was for me to find clothes that fit, date men who were taller than me, and even just fit into public spaces like airplanes or movie theaters.
Now, I work in a corporate setting where my height is often an advantage. However, I still feel like people treat me differently because of it, like they assume I'm too intimidating to approach or that they have to be extra polite to me.
In short, I am angry at the world for making me feel different and inferior just because of my height. But I'm learning to channel that anger into positivity by using my platform to advocate for tall women like me and show others that our height doesn't have to be a barrier to success or happiness.
