Unlike the other sites here I can use more than 300 character to explain why being tall is a big deal to me >:)
So - It's really not a drastic change. It's really - what if I was tall, because it felt better to me now. I guess I'm suprised myself, being able to picutre myself this way and happy.
Drawing and seeing myself as small - it's comforable, it's cute. But also because I want to make myself small metaphoricly, because I felt uncomfortalbe being tall, because - litrally and metaphoricly, it didn't like how I was taking space. I didn't want to look anything close to what we physicly looked like. All despite me being the most intune with our past, I just - didn't like who we were now.
Considering that it felt like we stopped growing for years - yeah, once we realized our pluality and I was drawing myself, I didn't see myself being as old as we actually were. It's actually been a constent all thought our life. Forget how old we were, or not feeling like we were 18, 21, or whatever else. Shit, even last year, we thought we were 27, but no, we were 28, and with our brithday after that, 29. It felt like we missed a year or 2 out of no where.
And it's not like I don't feel our age out of like - hating being old. More so just - it feel like being out of step with what it means to be that age, feeling like we didn't live that time. Like we were on pause for years. Because we were dissociating, because we had no friends and - nothing felt like it really mattered. Not until we got out of the home, met people our age who care about what they are doing here. Making real friends.
Overtime, while I can't say we're just catching up with how old we're suppose to feel, I feel like I'm growing up again, we're on play now.
I'll still draw myself small, because it's cute and comfortable. But being taller, it's not so bad anymore. I can see it and still feel good now. It also feels very reasuring and comforting having the others being so nice to me being taller.
